A poem about an ant.

An ant,
lying on the stairs,
smashed to lifeless pieces.
Swept up like dirt.

His casket,
the dust pan.
His Pallbearer,
the Garbage man who
threw his remains
on the truck.
The Garbage dump,
his final resting place.

To those who miss him
or even grieve his death.
Don't be sad...
He's in a Glad.
