The Spy Who Ate Me

A termite’s a guy who just loves the woods It gnaws him because he’s just not understood His nightmares, a version of Sentricon hell You love oak and cherry, why can’t he as well? A villain who’s bred by your dereliction Spy him out early, ‘cuz he’s no pulp fiction He wants you to upgrade, pack up and move on He’s Jaws and he’s Spectre ‘gainst your Termite Bond
