Abecedarian Poem

The Angry Anteater

by Wils

An angry anteater had eaten his ants
But they tickled inside him loosening his pants
Causing him to get angrier still
"Don’t do that,” he yelled. “Your lives have gone downhill
Each of you should be lying down dead
For going up my nose and into my head
Grass is much greener where you are now
Heaven, for ants, is supposed to be wow
Instead of wriggling around inside me
Just cross the Ant Bridge and you will be free
Know that your lives were not lived in vain
Lunch for me you were so I can remain
Me, I’ll continue to feed off you ants
Never again will you loosen my pants
Out with the old me, in with the new
Proud I shall be and it’s because of you
Quite a sight I will be with my fastened on jeans
Rightfully buckled by any old means
So, to you ants, I have this to say
Thank you very much for your wriggling way
Unless you can manage to find your way out
Very sorry for you but I do have some doubt
We must put an end to this conversation
Xtra train’s coming to your Heavenly nation
You’ve been the best ant meal I’ve had
Zzzz time for me and my dear Dad
