Ant Adventures

Eucalyptus leaves sway gently in the soft breeze, as little ants scuttle around trees.
As the ants bring food to their underground home, outside a spider watches and roams.
The ants do not know they are prey, so if one did see the spider, they wouldn’t say.
The trot continues to their queen, still unaware they have been seen.
No sight of the spider, the ants resume to bring the crumbs to a special room.
Outside the ant nest, the spider will never rest.
Step by step, it forms its web, and before long, done is the cobweb.
The ants set out again, unaware of the spider’s den.
The spider lies in wait as the ants spot the special bait.
The spider had used some stones for that lure, to get the ants to come, he ensured.
As the ants got closer to the fake, they realised they had made a big mistake.
Quickly, the ants rushed back home, and soon the spider had no need to roam.
