I watch these small black creatures,
as they race to and fro in ordered line;
into and out of their well mounded homes,
full of some mysterious purpose.

In perfect symmetry they go forward,
their pace is steady, fast and efficient;
wasting no precious time it appears,
in accomplishing their mission.

Ant hills abound in my back yard,
as their single minded work wins out.
I watch them, intimidated by their industry,
as they remind me of how lazy I can be.
