Antarchy

The birth of ants in my home

I don't know where they enter

But I know where they roam

This insect problem needs to be addressed

As they crawl on my floor

And make my home their nest 

These worker ants are not alone

Marching in my house

Secreting their pheromones

I am sure some are young and some are of old age 

But I don't want to think

About the ones at the larval stage

I stare at their head, abdomen and thorax

But I have to wonder

Can you kill them with borax?

I spray my house perimeter 

As inside my house 

I spray them with vinegar

But in the vinegar they just swim

They look like they are doing laps 

Like they are at the gym

These invaders are driving me insane

As their war march sounds like

Crackling cellophane

This invasion turns my floor black

With their antennae raised

I am officially under attack

This frustration is understandable 

As they chew through everything 

With their munching mandibles

In my kitchen I see my foe

Suddenly I feel a squish

As one is smashed by my big toe

I flick it off onto the floor

Then I look down 

And there is over a hundred more

I am heading to Lowe's to buy some traps

Because if I don't deal with these ants 

I am for sure about to snap
