The aerial winged-ant artistic gymnastics competition was disrupted- Breaking News
Extra, Extra, the Ant Newsies Say
Artistic Gymnastics was Shaken Today
Mighty Thoraxed Theresa with the Bright Compound Eye
Dropped her Twirling Crumb and Flew Up with a Sigh

Female Workers and Soldiers protected the Queen
As Three of her Eggs were Fallen Between
A Crack that Opened in the Earth
Minutes After she Gave Birth

Little Ted, a Winged Male
Whose Abdomen was Wan and Pale
Knowing he was anyway Doomed to Die
Dove for the Eggs and Lifted them High
