L Milton Hankins Poet Quintilla

No Sympathy For Termites

Always beware of the termite
Wise homeowners constantly fight
Incredibly destructive foe,
Exterminators surely know 
A buyer’s most off-putting sight.

Termites have no respect, you see
For you or your prized property,
They will devour your precious floor
Then look around for something more
You must show them no sympathy!

Caren Krutsinger September 26, 2022 at 12:02 PM Termites are doing what they do, no disrespect intended Hank. L Milton Hankins September 26, 2022 at 12:18 PM No disrespect, for sure. But, no sympathy!

Rico Leffanta September 26, 2022 at 4:17 PM Their legs are easily caught between teeth which makes them a rather unsightly treat. Aloha! L Milton Hankins September 26, 2022 at 12:00 PM You make a very good point, Rico. OTOH, I can't imagine eating those suckers.

Michael Tor September 25, 2022 at 4:50 PM I wonder how much money people have paid out to rebuild the properties they have destroyed. They are very destructive. Thanks for sharing... L Milton Hankins September 25, 2022 at 6:30 PM Thank you, Michael.
