Exuber the Ant

Exuber was a small ant,
but not if you don't compare
the size of his abdomen
to that of a fresh eclair.

Exuber lived in St. Louis
with mom and uncle chee
in a crack on a sidewalk
resided their colony

Every day they dug tunnels
Every night they ate their peas
Then they would play some checkers
and drink a few cups of tea

Exuber liked to go out
and run through the blades of grass
His mom said it was, "alright,"
If he stayed close, but alas -

The moment he was out there,
He could do things others can't,
in the wild foliage
He became ExuberAnt!

ExuberAnt was fearless
ExuberAnt was strong
If predators were lurking
they wouldn't be lurking long!

ExuberAnt, chest held high,
walked about in undefeat
What's this? Perspiration?
He could take a rise in heat

He started to feel dizzy
His powers began to fade
He creeped around aimlessly
wanting nothing more than shade

A human boy was smiling
magnifying glass in hand
a red cap sat on his head
and he chewed a rubber band

The next day the boy was found
with something beige in his throat
And who did his parents blame?
the man who made rootbeer float.

The end.
