The Termite and the Cow
I watched the peaceful cattle stroll
around the pleasant field.
We gain from them both food and milk,
such benefits they yield.
However, when they eat the grass,
they digest all that stuff.
The gas produced from peaceful cows,
makes air a little rough.
But what about that lowly bug,
with termite as his name?
What he can do, with little help

Soldier Termite
Why at war I have no clue
all I do is eat and chew
Don’t kill your flocks
like a carnivore fox
Or mow your crop
with a locusts chop
Of wood I take a tiny bite
for that you engage me to fight?

Termite Appetizers

Max the chimp was in awe of his find.
A termite meal that boggled his mind.
Thousands trapped in the hill
He took care not to spill
And did not leave one termite behind.
This time there were extra to share
With his girlfriend whose name was Clare.
Thousands trapped in

Termite of Time
Where am I? Where has my vision taken?
Away amidst the turbulent seas with safety of shore forsaken
Neither the days of grandeur remain, nor the blissful drunken nights
Dismal is my life, alas! All eaten by time’s termites
When this sea of tears will dry up and land will be in sight
Holding olive branch in beak I

Termite Jill
(Dedicated to all booklovers who have lost their loved ones to the scourge of the termite hordes - I did)
I thought I was a bibliophile
and indulged in pedantic boasts
I'd speak of ancient tomes and stuff
revel in Academia's toasts
horror of horrors I discovered
a lover of books beyond compare
who beat me hollow at my game
whose fame and

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
