Analysis of Ants, Fleas, Worms And Bees
There must be ten trillion ants at thresholds to annoy.
Each one has a job to do in the grating convoy.
There must be ten trillion fleas at barnyards to molest.
Each one has a job to do in the irksome unrest.
There must be ten trillion flies at picnics to incense.
Each one has a job to do in the galling offence.
There must be ten trillion ticks at fauna to be-leech.
Each one has a job to do in the ruthless outreach.
There must be ten trillion worms at thickets to infest.
Each one has a job to do in the nasty contest.
There must be ten trillion mites at mantles to abrade.
Each one has a job to do in the vector crusade.
There must be ten trillion bees at gardens to enrage.
Each one has a job to do in the testy rampage.
