watercolour and ink on paper
The industrious and the frivolous
Well, ANTS are industrious
Working hard, planning the future
GRASSHOPPER is a romantic
And loves to sing
And sing GRASSHOPPER does
Through youth into middle days
Until bedraggled, hungry, with begging cup in hand
See GRASSHOPPER approaching ANTS
The ANTS laugh at the tenacity
They send GRASSHOPPER away
Hungry, cold and destitute
