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
