The New Ant and Grasshopper......


 

THE  NEW 

Ant and the Grasshopper, 

Two Versions: 

 

The  ANT 
AND  THE 
GRASSHOPPER 

 


This  one is a little different.... 
Two  Different Versions ... 
Two  Different Morals  

 

 


OLD  VERSION

 


The  ant works hard  
in the withering heat all summer long, 
building his house 
and  laying up supplies for the winter. 

 

 

 


The  grasshopper 
thinks  the ant is a fool 
and laughs and dances 
and plays the summer away. 

 


Come  winter, the ant is warm
and  well fed.


 


The  grasshopper has 
no  food or shelter, so he 
dies  out in the cold.

 

 

 

 

 


MORAL  OF THE OLD STORY:

 

 

 

 


 


Be  responsible for yourself!

MODERN   
VERSION

 

 

 

 


 


The  ant works hard 
in  the withering heat and the rain 
all summer long, building his house   
and  laying up supplies for the winter.

 

 

 

 


 


The  grasshopper thinks the ant 
is  a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. 

 

 

 

 


 


Come  winter, the shivering grasshopper 
calls  a press conference 
and demands to know why 
the ant should be   
allowed  to be warm and well fed 
while he is cold and starving.. 

 

 

 

 


 


CBS,  NBC, PBS, CNN,
and  ABC show up to 
provide  pictures of the shivering grasshopper 
next  to a video of the ant 
in  his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
America   is stunned by the sharp contrast.

 

 

 

 


 


How  can this be, 
that in a country of such wealth, 
this poor grasshopper   
is  allowed to suffer so?

 

 

 

 


 


Kermit  the Frog appears   
on  Oprah 
with  the grasshopper 
and  everybody cries when they sing, 
'It's Not Easy Being Green ...' 

 

 

 

 


 


Occupy  the Anthill stages   
a  demonstration in front 
of the ant's house  
where the news stations film 
the SEIU group singing, 
We  shall overcome.

 

 

 

 


 


Then  Rev Al Sharpton's assistant 
has  the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper  
while  he damns the ants. 
The Reverend Al can not attend as he has contractual commitments to appear on his MSNBC show
for which he is paid over two million dollars a year to complain that rich people do not care.

 

 

 

 

 

 


 


President  Obama condemns  the ant 
and  blames 
President  Bush 43, 
President Bush 41, 
President Reagan,  
Christopher Columbus, 
and the   
Pope
for  the grasshopper's
plight.. 

 

 

 

 


 


Nancy  Pelosi & Harry Reid 
exclaim  in an interview on The View    
that  the ant has 
gotten  rich off the back of the 
grasshopper  ,   
and  both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant 
to make him pay his fair  share.

 

 

 

 


 


Finally,  the EEOC drafts 
the  Economic  Equity & 
Anti-Grasshopper  Act 
retroactive  to the beginning of 
the  summer.

 

 

 

 


 


The  ant is fined for failing to hire 
a proportionate number   
of  green  bugs and, 
having  nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, 
his home is confiscated by the  
Government  Green Czar 
and  given to the grasshopper .

 

 

 

 


 


The  story ends as we see the grasshopper 
and  his free-loading friends 
finishing up the last bits of the ant's food 
while the government house he is in, 
which, as you recall, 
just  happens to be the ant's  old house, 
crumbles  around them
because the grasshopper  doesn't 
maintain it.

 

 

 

 


 


The  ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again. 

 

 

 

 


 


The  grasshopper  is found dead in a drug related incident, 
and the house, now abandoned, 
is taken
over  by a gang of spiders  
who terrorize the ramshackle, 
once prosperous   
and  peaceful, 
neighborhood.

 

 

 

 


 


The  entire Nation collapses 
bringing  the rest 
of  the free world with it.

 

 

 

 


 


MORAL  OF THE STORY:

 

 

 

 


 


Be  careful how you vote in 2016. 

 

 

 

 


 


I've  sent this to you because I believe that you are an ant   
not  a grasshopper !

 

 

 

 


 


Make  sure that you pass
this  on to other ants .
