The Tiny Little Ant

There once was a tiny little ant that was so, so very small To him, every other single ant was great big, huge and tall He tried to help the best he could as they all lived in their nest The other ants would push him aside and say, " Why don't you take a rest " There's nothing here that you can do said, the ants that were passing by He knew that he was way too small yet, he knew that he should try To help his family do their chores after all he is an ant But, no matter how hard he tried each day they all told him, he can't They told him he was way too small 'cause he could fit on the head of a pin They said to him, " Just go away " " You never did fit in " That sad and heartbroken little ant decided to leave that day He would rather live all by himself Than to be treated in that way He traveled across the countryside and, for days he never stopped Then, a great big wind came and lifted him high to a tree limb he was dropped A storm was brewing, the wind was blowing and he knew that he must hide He saw a tiny little hole so he ran, then crawled inside He found a little tunnel that led him deep within the tree It came to a great big opening to his amazement he did see Another colony of little ants that seem to be like him But, it was hard to see within that tree 'cause the light was very dim He had to get much closer He had to really see Are they really little ants? Are they just like me? He saw, they were just like him as his face began to grin He asked if he could live with them so they happily took him in There's a moral to this story about this tiny little ant You can always do what you put your mind to 'Cause there's no such thing as, can't

awwww, he found his own kind. So cute, Roger. he must have been like the ugly duckling stuck with fire ants or something when he was meant to be the small kind.
