The Termite

Some primal termite knocked on wood
And tasted it, and found it good!
And that is why your Cousin May
Fell through the parlor floor today.

    Hilarious and BRILLIANT

    From guest Tanzanite (contact)
    I liked the effortless meter in this - the way it flowed so easily and how it fits the chomping of the termite on wood as well when you look at the rhythm. Awesome work, but then it wouldn't be on OLDpoetry if it wasn't written by a Master.
