Who are the pests that have to be controlled
Are they the kids around the block
Who have to be told
Because they’re so bold
The nagging wives
Threatening with knives
The lazy husbands who don’t work
Because of a quirk
The gardener who lays on the lawn
And when he sees you
He gives one big yawn
The neighbors who gossip
When you’re still around
They talk so softly
You hear not a sound
It’s none of these
We’ve been told
It’s the termites
That have to be controlled
