The termite culture's rich and vast, 
more so, sometimes, than humankind, 
with martyrs and mujahideen, 
and projects ponderous yet precise, 
and back-up plans, a hundredfold. 
How do they do it? 

Society is based on caste, 
with tasks and territory assigned 
by social rank. Some watch,...

Each day, so many wooden homes are eaten away.
A termite queen can lay two thousand eggs a day.
Damage is gradual, but it occurs day and night.
Those little insects have such a voracious appetite.
Most of us have heard of that branch of zoology.
The study of insects...

Would you let termites into your home?
The kind that worm their way in with spite,
Uninvited and pretending to become
Like you, yet all the while sneer, delight
In trashing your abode with their teeth,
Chewing at your foundations with malice
Pray five times a day that your feet
Might fall...

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!

Termites at Christmas

They’re just little insects,
they were swarming by the hundreds one day,
through the backyard, as we sat in lawn chairs,
through the portico and on past our faces they flew,
the sunlight behind their soft bodies made them appear to be flakes,
like ash floating from some...

Crazy termites filed their way
then camped in my gardens 
I looked on amused at their abilities
soon they slashed down my crops

Without wasting time and chance
crazy termites moved on to my cottage
I heard them knock at my door
I refused to open anyway in defiance

Crazy termites not...

aging darken
dead ember wood 
creaking left bare
eating termites 

in colonies
hard destructive
winged eating bugs
hollow out trees

Glad we won't have to drive our selves crazy,
And her name is either Daisy or Mazie;
Rave and shout;
Democrat no doubt,
Who always will work hard and is never lazy.

Just had inspection of termites,
On both arms should see bites;
Was of dwelling;
Should see swelling;
Some say they may be...

How will a house turn into a mansion?
It will demolish and rebuild.
I am the same way,
Eaten by termites that said they loved me.
Demolished with hatred,
So I rebuild my self with self-love....

Treading hard in a sea of lies
With anchor feet and foggy eyes,
Can we yet float another day
With no ship to take us away?

When seas were calm, we saw the shore.
With swelling seas, we see no more
Midst waves of tergiversation
That inundate our great nation.

Flotsam and jetsam...

Let us at Risk-Taking Dave
Lengthily rave 
For choosing to live in a cave
Also, The Choice of a Gorilla
That could demolish a stout slave
And wrestling Victory not release to a Godzilla …

To Risk-Courting Dave
Now in Echoing Cave
To improve on His high Octave
Mention that he’s risking an...
