Another Haiku For You!

Snap, Snap, Snap!

-Quiet everyone, the poet must speak.
"I was inspired by this lovely work of art, thus, another Ant Haiku was born. Please do enjoy."


You run around fast.
What if you didn't have legs?
You'd look really dumb.

Gracias!

Dead Ant, Dead Ant...

Dead ant, dead ant, dead ant, dead annnnnnnnnt!

Ladies and gentlefolk, there has been a casualty. After weeks of being un-entertained, I decided to check the ant farm thoroughly today, only to find that at the very bottom of the container laid the lifeless body of a single ant, useful to the army no more. I picked up the container to get a closer view, and nearly as soon as I did another ant seemed to grab this single ants body and start to drag it somewhere. At first, I thought that the other ant was eating the dead ant, excited that finally there was some drama on the farm. Cannibal Ants! YESSS! But, alas my friends, I was corrected by a friend who stated that they are suppose to drag their dead to the top of the container to let them rot in the view of the rest of the ants. Well, I just made up that last part. But, really does anyone know why they do this? Perhaps because at the top of the container of blue, or, maybe to them-to the top of the mountain, it is closer to their Ant God. Genius, I am pure genius.

Ok, back on track. I did some research and found that apparently ants are extremely clean little beasts. They will move all their refuse as well as dead ants away from their tunnels. So, I guess that's their thinking. It's not so much that they are caring or mourning their dead, or placing them at the highest point towards the Heavens, they are moving them out of their way so they can continue with their tunnel making. Well, I tell you what you selfish ants, that tank is going to start smelling soon-and those two tiny air holes at the top aren't going to cut it. I'd recommend eating the bodies.
