The door was opened, there was a delay
She took a step back
Her eyes filled with dismay.
I peered through the window to see what she saw
It was the blackest of black
For that I was sure.
Chorus:
Thousands of ants, everywhere you look
Living and breathing, every cranny, every nook.
Thousands of ants, crawling here and there,
Tiny but strong, some flying through the air.
Where once there was white, I could see no more
Nothing exposed
No ceilings, no floor.
There was a gathering, hanging in the middle of the room
It was heaving and breathing,
There was a feeling of doom.
Chorus:
Thousands of ants, everywhere you look
Living and breathing, every cranny, every nook.
Thousands of ants, crawling here and there,
Tiny but strong, some flying through the air.
This living organism had invaded our space
Inhabiting our home
This non-human race.
Our best form of defense, we had to attack
We didn’t want to
But we couldn’t sit back.
Chorus:
Thousands of ants, everywhere you look
Living and breathing, every cranny, every nook.
Thousands of ants, crawling here and there,
Tiny but strong, some flying through the air.
Some quick thinking, a dash to the cupboard
Some panic ensued
It was rather cluttered.
Returning soon, without fear in her eyes,
Hoover deployed
They met their demise.
Chorus:
Thousands of ants, everywhere you looked
Living and breathing, every cranny, every nook.
Thousands of ants, crawled here and there,
Tiny but strong, some flew through the air.
