Ants on a Farm

Who is that there on yonder field
with shielded pliant tarps
acreage estate and garden grass
with rolling hills and scarps

Those meddling ones with skin not fair
whose sweated brows doth hoe
and ready seed for planting spot
beyond the fallowed sough

Whose homestead lawn the meadows be
a nursery orchard field
of fruited plains and blossom trails
the waited crop to yield

The pasture ranch arboretum world
be farmstead freehold land
of grange filled patch while tilling soil
demesne beneath the sand

The emmet trails and mounds labored
below dense tarpaulin
their claim to fame plantation range
enclosure hill dwell in

And all the while thus make their home
under the harvest tract
where none doth know nor understand
the toil of their transact

While anthropoids thus sow their germ
within the fresh tilled ground
the pismire creature works below
beneath with fainted sound
