Creeps and Crawls

The insect world appealed to Fabre.
I find the insect world macabre.
In every hill of ants I see
A governed glimpse of what shall be,
And sense in every web contriver
Man’s predecessor and survivor.
someday, perhaps, my citronella
Will rank with Chamberlain’s umbrella.

By Ogden Nash
