Ambling ants among apple trees
Ascending and descending with ease
Arranging their army in perfect form
Advancing towards their daily norm
Ascending up the bark they go
Amidst the leaves and fruit below
Ascending, descending, to and fro
Ants amble, without haste or woe
Arriving at a juicy prize
Antennae twitch, excitement rise
Apples await, a sweet surprise
Ants swarm and feast before their eyes
And when their bellies are finally full
Awe-inspiring, their teamwork whole
Assembling for the return trip
Ants amble, leaving not a drip
Astonishing creatures, the humble ant
Altruistic in their daily chant
Amazing in their feats so grand
Ants amble, across the land.
