Anthony & Eve

Now this is the story of Anthony and Eve.

Two little ants, as small as a seed.

Very near in their ages,

Eve one, and Ant three.

Always needing each other,

like fish need the sea.

They did things together.

Never apart, as you’ll see.

Happy together, but bored as can be.

Eve shortened Ant’s name.

For Eve, it’s just too hard to say.

So Ant it just was. No need to explain.
