The Ant
You could not call him the Ant to his face
And you would be dead if you made the
Mistake of calling him the Ant to his face.
Or what if you called him the Ant except
Not to his face, like you called him the Ant
To somebody and he only heard about it?
He wouldn't care. It meant nothing to him.
The Clown
It was the same way with Joey the Clown.
They called him the Clown because he
Liked to clown around but you yourself
Could definitely not ever clown around.
Or just like how he felt about the suburbs.
A lot of them moved to the suburbs but
His basic attitude was fuck the suburbs.
I only saw this line, not the title or author: "You could not call him the Ant to his face." I immediately knew who wrote it because Mitch Sisskind can reveal an entire psyche in a few strokes.

These two look like Mafioso suspects in the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa
The Ant is no one to be clowned with
And Joey could crush anyone like an ant
Or so it seems
