Adam Ant




THREE WORD WEDNESDAY
'adamant, fabricate, peculiar' 

ADAM ANT

Adam Man with all his wit
Took a thousand years (and a little bit)
To create a skyscraper of size
Capable of scraping skies.
Adam Ant, a lowly creature,
Created, easily, this feature,
Using instinct for a guide
Then busily anted-away inside!
He didn't have to contemplate
Before he started to fabricate!
I find this very odd disparity
A very strange peculiarity!
Big-brained Adam Man out-done
By an insect, a little one!
Maybe we are not as wise
As something a millionth of our size!

PUSSY CAT!


Pussy cat! Pussy cat! Where have you been?
I searched in the plant-pot where leaves were so green.
Pussy cat! Pussy cat! That was a trap!
You're stuck there for ever! Oh what a mishap!

    I read somewhere once that if ants were six inches long they would absolutely dominate the earth.
    Unlucky for the earth that they're not, because man isn't doing too well with it.

    Love the poems. Perhaps man should learn to co-operate better like the ant.

    As an avid gardener, I've always been impressed by the industry of ants, termites, bees and others. If we could be so productive!
    Here's my terribly late addition to the bunch:
