The Ant

by Ogden Nash

The ant has made himself illustrious

Through constant industry industrious.

So what?

Would you be calm and placid

If you were full of formic acid?

 
You are always enlightening, rvb. I had to look up "formic". Now I know what it means, but...

the poem is still a head scratcher. But then, so are you. A religious court jester who loves to cook, has empathy for birds, blends frogs and eats kosher slugs. Hmmm. Very interesting man.
Oh, and thanks a lot for starting the whole toilet paper insanity up above. Now, Randi thinks I'm a bourgeois.

 
oh goodness, no call of the wild....

I could never place that much importance on toilet tissue to assume or judge anyone.

of course, the thought of dusty toilet tissue still makes me laugh. those types of threads are fun, for most of us anyway. just as long as the toilet tissue is where it should be when I need it, I don't care which direction it rolls from smileys/smile.gif

 
Randi, if I went into detail about the things my husband does that drive me insane...

we'd have a thread the length of my colon. Ok, I know I shouldn't do this, but here I go:

1. Dirty clothes that are inside-out.
2. Crusty dishes left in sink. (There's water right there!)
3. No cap on the toothpaste. ARGH
4. Chairs that aren't pushed in after eating (I'm trying to make this somewhat food-related)
5. Leaving sugar all over the counter after preparing coffee.
6. Football, baseball, golf, poker and, if it's a really dry sports weekend, BOWLING. Is poker a sport? Well, it is to him.
7. Not putting a trash bag into the wastebasket.
8. Forgetting to tell me (after I've prepared a great meal) that he's going out with the "guys".
He's a retired fire chief and they soooo love each other, those firemen.
9. He won't eat zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, fish, any other lettuce besides that big ball of head lettuce, Indian cuisine, Mexican or Spanish cuisine (except tacos), ricotta cheese, crepes - an endless list.

I could go on and on, but I love him dearly. He's mine and I'll keep him. So, the toilet paper issue was just funny. I hope you didn't take me seriously. One of the reasons I like this site so much is because it's very light-hearted.

 
clofthwld, did you marry my boyfriend??? Because it sure sounds like him*LOL* (nt)

 
hey clofthwld . it's obvious that you love your husband deeply
