Ant and the Picnic

An ant crawls on the ground
Six legs step in three-legged sync
On the dirt paved earth below the forest of grass

A canopy ahead
Fabric of red and white
Checkered large roof

Pressed down by wood-woven ships
Aboard are rations
Shielded by invisible force-fields

Large two legged mammals descend
Unpacking the ship of its contents
Down onto the crippling canopy, crushing the grass

The ant climbs upon the canopy
To have a closer look
Spotting the rations, desire takes heed

The faint smell of rations
Sends the ant into a spell
He begins to lose control

The desire for rations
So very strong
As he crawls to the shielded feast

A small break in the field
Allows for a sneak taste
Temptation takes over as he tastes some more

Movement felt over the entire field
The shielded rations
Have taken to air

The mammal deactivates the shielding with ease
Frightening the ant
Inducing panic

The ant makes haste
To leave the treat be
Will demise be his fate?
Or will he make it to safety?

We must wait and see
