Puddle

A puddle so blue deep by the sidewalk,
Its horizon stretches far and wide like a sea
Two ants set sailing on a paper boat,
The paper soaked soggy too soon-
They swim.

And sinking, the paper all soft and thin
The ants thought folly, what miserable skin!
Two bugs overboard, they jumped into puddle sea
& swim-.
and swim,
They swim, swim, swim
