THE ANT AND THE STAR

I want to tell a secret

that I promised not to tell.

An actress loves an unknown,

but there is another man.

She is seen with the other,

but never with the unknown.

All think that she is dating.

No one sees the unknown man.



The Star is in the Heavens.

The Ant runs about the ground.

These two are so different.

They seem unlikely to meet.

Should Star try to visit Ant,

both Ant and Earth would perish.

A collision with a Star

would prove fatal to us all.



At last, I told the secret

that I promised not to tell.

I have told you everything,

but have said nothing at all.
