想起近十年前小孩在家裡念叨的學校里學的一首詩，生動地寫照了今天的木匠與螞蟻跳舞的無奈：

The carpenter rages - by Jack Prelutsky

The carpenter rages, the carpenter rants,

The carpenter raises a clamor,

It’s all on account of the carpenter ants,

Who have eaten the carpenter’s hammer.

The carpenter bellows, the carpenter screams,

The carpenter clenches his jaw,

For the carpenter ants, in well-organized teams,

Have eaten the carpenter’s saw.

The  carpenter sputters, the carpenter stews,

The carpenter simmers and sizzles,

For the carpenter ants, working swiftly in crews,

Have eaten the carpenter’s chisels.

The carpenter sits in a heap on the ground,

The carpenter grows ever madder,

For the carpenter ants,

swarming up and around.

The carpenter suddenly leaps in the air,

He writhes in a furious dance,

For those carpenter ants, with incredible flair,

Have eaten the carpenter’s pants.

木匠狂怒

木匠狂怒，木匠咆哮，
咆哮得甚囂塵上，
因為老螞蟻
吃了木匠的錘子。

木匠狂叫，木匠尖叫，
叫得咬牙切齒，
因為老螞蟻
吃了木匠的鋸子。

木匠唾沫飛濺，

木匠絲絲作聲，

因為老螞蟻，
吃了木匠的鑿子。

木匠坐在高高的土堆上面，
聽媽媽講螞蟻的故事

螞蟻們蜂擁而上，

爬到了木匠四寸。

木匠突然一躍而起，
像跳zumba一樣舞蹈着將身體盡力地扭曲，
因為四寸上的老螞蟻們
已經吃了木匠的褲子。
