I keeps a pack of biscuits handy
to accompany me coffee
but when I falls asleep and
forgets to seal the bag
when I wakes up
the first thing I notices is
the sharp little pains of micro-bites
it's these tiny teeny ants
nipping at me bare feet
looking down to find a cloud of black dots
swarming through the carpet weave
snatching what crumbs they can carry
in a series of alligator files
up and out the window
well this is no fun
they's my biscuits
and for all I knows
the ants is making the crumbs
from the whole biscuits
so I takes the bag to the sink
empties them on a plate
painstakingly
picks, blows and brushes off the offenders
and then returns the biscuits
to the bag
fortunately I catched them in time
and most of the biscuits is
still identifiable
but there is a considerable amount
of biscuit dust
which I sprinkles
in the garden
for the birds
if they wants it
or a tribe of outside ants
but what of the ants in me house?
I leaves 'em alone
because you never knows
what the vacuum cleaner
might have missed
