Ants
They never wear pants.
They never take a chance.
They never go to France.
They never steal a furtive glance.
They never water plants.
They never look askance.
They never do the Chicken Dance.
They never take a stance.
They never apply for government grants.
They never go into a trance.
They never send their Christmas cards far enough in advance.
And now you know a lot about ants.
They never take a chance.
They never go to France.
They never steal a furtive glance.
They never water plants.
They never look askance.
They never do the Chicken Dance.
They never take a stance.
They never apply for government grants.
They never go into a trance.
They never send their Christmas cards far enough in advance.
And now you know a lot about ants.
