The Coronation!

 The Coronation!

He could not believe his eyes

Tossed, in the air, a parade.

The crowd lining the street

Cheered, applauded, waved.

Jubilant was the scene, towards 

A simple green Grasshopper.

He smiled, saluted

The roar so loud

Carried by ants

No longer alone. Important!

He was now King, he thought.

Meanwhile, the Thai ants

Flown in by Ant Airways

At the ant Colosseum

Had the fire basket ready

With selected  ant herbs

They waited, excitedly.

While grasshopper rejoiced.

Still in dis-belief.

Cherished by the masses

A fried banquet 

Would be soon served,

Him.

If only the Grasshopper

Had watched last week

The Wicker Man movie

Starring Christopher Lee.

What fools these grasshoppers be! Vanity makes them as weak as human beings lol.
Sardonic, wicked and hilarious.

oh, I reallyyyyy enjoyed this one. poor grasshopper seems to have his head up his bum a bit. oh well can't fault him that. it did seem a bit like a coronation.

Love it
I guess natural love is better than one who an individual shoves on others
ants have always been loved
i love them
grasshopper seems arrogant and egoistic
so his time falls
