...and what's so marvellous about ants?

Hey Monmouth may be marvellous and everyone is really, really awesome and friendly, but I did have a few unwelcome visitors...

Midnight

Midnight did find me, after a hot summer's day,
Dressed parka, gloves, mask, wellies to my dismay.
Laying a line of white powder, no nothing perverse,
You see I'd just been hit again by dreaded ant curse.

Innocently I had gone to switch off the lounge lamp,
And saw an ant scurry like some kinda vamp.
True, that was all the sign I really needed to see,
For my stomach to sky dive, and that ant frighten me.

Last year when Olympic flame paid Monmouth a visit,
Went, saw, came home to find a million ants in-it.
Back then the army marched under the front door,
And quickly paraded all over the wooden floor.
Knew very well if another ant invasion was planned,
The hallway would be just the place to make my stand.

Slowly opening the hall door, I gave a loud scream,
Twenty ants dancing, how could they be so mean?
Grabbing some loo roll, I hissed like a wild cat,
Proceeded to splat, there a splat, everywhere splat, splat.

So neighbours you really must forgive me,
If last night out your window you did see.
A parka, gloves, mask, wellies to your dismay,
Believe me, it wasn't the best way to end a summer day.

In every day, in every single way Monmouth is marvellous!
