Ant is Pig

First of all, I completely disagree with this so called "metaphor", but nevertheless it is part of the assignment to agree. Ants are wonderful creatures, unlike pigs...

Notice the Resemblance!

Reasons:

1. Ants eat almost every minute, pigs eat almost every minute, thus, ant is pig.
2. Ants are small, but have warm, teamwork hearts; pigs are big, but have cold, lazy hearts (they are fraternal twins).
3. Ants appear to run slowly, pigs are slow, ant is pig.
4. Ants appear to be greedy and are thieves; pigs are greedy and are thieves.
5. Ants look ugly, pigs are ugly.
6. Ants overflow their stomachs, pigs already have.
7. Ants come red/pink and black; pigs come in pink and black.
8. Ants live on the Earth; pigs live on the earth.
9. Ants live in soil; pigs love the mud.
10. Ants reproduce adequately; pigs reproduce adequately

        But I'm in Paris with you.

             Yes I'm angry at the way I've been bamboozled
             And resentful at the mess I've been through.
             I admit I'm on the rebound
             And I don't care where are we bound.
       I'm in Paris with you. (In Paris With You, James Fenton /first two stanzas)

Teachers think I'm lucky
Endless amounts of joy
Villainous like a boy
Evil lurks behind me
