[backinthejazzcoffin]

I met a traveller in an antique land

Who said 'Six vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert

And on the pedestal these words appear

My name is Ozymandias, King of Ants

Look on my feelers, termites, and despair

I am the biggest ant you'll ever see

The ants of old weren't half as bold and big

And fierce as me'.
