Illustration Friday ~ Strong


Just what makes that little ol’ ant
Think he’ll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can’t
Move a rubber tree plant

But he’s got high hopes… he’s got high hopes
He’s got high apple pie in the sky hopes
So any time you’re getting low
‘Stead of letting go,
Just remember that ant.
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant.
