Winter Blues


On a summer day Grasshopper dude was hanging when he saw Ant toiling.

‘Wassup bro come and chill', he called.

‘Far too busy, I must work or starve. Times change,’ sneered Ant.

Alas chill winter came.

Grasshopper warm and chewing on roasted Ant thought, Yep, change with the times, bro.

  4. It is just unfair and one knows it. It somewhat ends in lots of injustice and one can only scream with horror but to no effect. Strength has its advantages, unfair advantages! Nicely!

    Gorgeous little vignette of daily life on earth.
    Pity the sneering ant copped it. I rather admired his defiance.

  9. Much more true to life, though the grasshoppers rarely invited the hardworking ants to join in the fun.
