ant to ant

(a collaboration with ifana8)


if only we could have a day off

just a day to relax

instead of following the throng

another day of breaking our backs

.

But we're workers, how can we even ask

We're born for that, as long as our breath lasts

Did you hear though? We have a new task

To mate with the Queen, and produce heirs fast

.

whoa ... back up the bus

i know that honour is great

but seriously, she's kinda scary

and just a tad overweight

.

you're right and what's worst than that

is the minute we're done we die

maybe we should just run away

find another colony and thrive

.

i think that is a great idea

but we had better go fast

i see her soldiers coming for us

and the others are letting them pass

.

Oh no... I remember

We're identified by scent

We can't go where

We're unrecognizable

.

For we can be sensed

As enemies and attacked

Instead, let us relax

And die performing our task

.

you're right, this is our fate

and you have been a friend so dear

and i will really miss you

because i am getting the hell outta here

.

BYEEEEEEE SUCKER
