Don`t Bring It In

No lady bugs, no butterflies,

The bees have gone-

Even the grasshoppers.

All I see are ants.

Everywhere.

Now they enter my house

Somehow

In their determination

To sustain themselves

Through the drought.

Out! Out! Damned ants,

Remove yourselves

From my premises.

I cannot enjoy the outdoors.

Don't try to bring it in.
