The family got ready for the Fourth of July-
For it was a special day, is the reason why.
.
The celebration, of the country, was at hand-
Everyone would participate, throughout the land.
.
To first barbecue, and then eat, at the picnic table-
To fight off the ants, as best as one is able.
.
But wait there were no ants, to be seen-
The picnic table and the surrounding
area, of them appear, to be clean.
.
What is a Fourth of July picnic, without
an ant?
Hard to picture, just simply can’t.
.
The family looked around to see if they could
be spotted-
Surely, with them, the land would be dotted.
.
The family looked on the ground-
They looked everywhere ants might be
found.
.
And, alas, they were spotted in the
distance, on the hill-
They weren’t working, they were
just standing still.
.
Waiting, for the fireworks, they were
celebrating the Fourth too-
Tomorrow, there would be plenty, of
other picnics, to eat and go through.
.
The family got ready for the Fourth of July-
For it was a special day, is the reason why.
