Poetic Verses

Termites

Their appearance proves not to be a very  inviting sight
Seeing that brown mass certainly evokes disgust certainly not delight
Those  who were affected most certainly and clearly understood
That the wood they have is now reduces to being of little good.

Well all know that sign, when in that  very instance
That those white ant give wind of their ominous presence
In essence  the wood in  now ready to be dispose
Those creatures  are have in their system an organism that digest cellulose.

Remember now there is a similar organism also somehow
Lives in the  gut of  the  larger animal the cow
We can sit and watch it as its cud it will chew
Thus  breaking down the cellulose in the plants too,

But can we apportion all the blame to those  them
Is it that man had invades and  strained their ecosystem
Felling and making lumber form perhaps some fairly young trees
That may be quite conducive to those termite colonies

It may be some consolation to get those wood treated
But sometimes they are there and  have themselves firmly planted
Some may die but the survivors ,may have  numbers and enough
To continue and reduce your  pile of wood to woodworm dust.

However do not always see them as a problem
If we study them, we could also make them helpful to the system
Perhaps hold them, regulate and find some way to contain
Then we can make use of the gas they synthesize, this is methane

Imagine a place which is designated to  termite farming
Being monitored, studied  subjected to a system that is controlling
So that the generated methane can be  sourced  more safely
This certainly will have an impact on the  country's economy.
