Andy The Ant

This was one of my earlier poems, a slightly humorous poem with an equally just twist at the end. The poem was mostly written in the form of first person, as a narrative. Anyway, read on...

Andy The Ant

"I am the finest thing to have around

I have the best looks ever found.

Having a party? Call me to the ground,

I have the greatest moves and sounds.

I am, Andy the Ant, yes I am

Cool as ice, fast as a tram.

Andy the Ant, you might've heard the name

I am the greatest player in the game.

I'd rule the colony, If it weren't for the King

'Cause I can dance, I can write, I can even sing!

All the ant's try to put me to rest,

They're all jealous, cause I'm the best

I'm the most adventurous ant, put me to test.

Roller coasters, Tea coasters, I've tried them all

I dare the humans to make an exterminator call.

I took on the enemies, single handedly, I did

One look at me, they all turned to kids.

Ladies can't keep their hands off me, I'm great

I get fan mail by the truckload, boxes and crates."

While praising himself, the ant failed to notice that,

A little kid was watching, he lifted a bat.

In a moment, a strike, and the great Andy was squashed-

FLAT!!!
