There was this annoying noise in my head,
It was the alarm, made me get off the bed,
A sight at the clock threatened me,
Being late that I didn’t want to be,

A sigh of relief as took my seat,
A race against time, now that I had beat,
A cup of latte, now that I need,
And power to my comp that I must feed.

Clanking and rattling that’s all I could hear,
It was my comp and I feared to go near,
I called for help and hoped it would be frisk,
To my horror all he found was ants in the hard disk.

I have a clean slate, because ants ate the hard ware,
Lost five years of hard work.
Ants in my hard disk, no data there,
Ants in my hard disk my computer is bare.
