Termite Whiteant Fix

Termite/Whiteant fix Out in west Queensland, Lived a white ant pestered man, Cos the white ants were attacking , Chomping on his house quite grand. They seemed to love the skirting boards, And would climb to get in em, There in millions billions bloody hordes, What would he do with dem? He was poor as a church mouse, To get em treated cost a few hundred, Maybe could make not taste as grouse. So onward then he blundered. Some of the country boys, Squirted diesel in the walls To hit old white ant on the bearers n stumps. Like a bee box buzzed the swarm. They didn’t like the diesel taste, He’d used a super soaker sorta, Water pistol worked quiet well, As I spose it oughta . Country people swear by it, the diesel 4 the termite, one place he hit a nest a bit, they buzzed the hypocrites, will they return to nibble on, the 4 inch timbers mate, or will they stagger away, get timber tasty for their plate?

Well Andrea, I'm unsure who played the part, may have been one of your more serious actresses. I'm still having 50c each way on the Dingo or Lindy Chamberlain. The only people hurt by Dingoes in my memory were bitten by semi tame ones. Trapper Joe my Ggramp said the wild ones stayed away from man. Would he know? Don

this is awesome, Don. Another great tale from Aussieland. I meant that the character in that true movie about the dingo was PLAYED by Nicole Kidman, if my memory serves me right anyway. What did YOU think? Was she guilty?
