Chris van der Westhuizen

Jou woelige, wilde klein kalant,
jy is tog al te sjarmant.

Jy klim en klouter,
jou soete stouter.

As jy begin stilraak...
dan is iets glad nie pluis nie.
Jy is Pappa se miertjie-meisie.

Little Ant (Miertjie)

Your lively, wild little sprite,
you’re truly full of charm and light.

You climb and scramble all around,
your sweet mischief astounds.

When suddenly you quiet down...
then something’s wrong, no doubt.
You’re Daddy’s busy little ant-girl.
