Antology

Ah've aye admired the busy ant
That aw day long toils, birls an' bustles
Fur maist o' us will puff an' pant
Tho' blessed wi' brains an' bigger muscles.
We strive fur cars an' better hooses
But whit's the spur? - no' formic juices!
Well, here's a daft, wee thote tae mull, sir.
Wid formic acid cause an ulcer?
An', if it did, d'ye think the ant
Wid jist sit doon an say, "I can't!"
