The Visitors! Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

The Visitors!

Rating: 5.0


The butterflies arrive to suck the nectar,
Leaving the hosts empty, bruised and sore,
The cockroaches are sneaky and not only eat the waste,
Also the best, discharging the odorous pellets,
The rats look for food and drink for ill thoughts,
A comfortable corner to deliver the continuity,
Termites are very dangerous, once invited,
Very hard to get rid, as they hide in fictitious tunnels,
The ants of various species pick up the left over,
Sometimes bite, sometimes mess up, mostly nuisance,
We have got the pest control to control the visitors,
As we have failed to see the duties that these people do,
The butterfly people are visually beautiful and smart,
Pleasure to the eyes and hearts, but very hard to catch,
The cockroach human is ready to receive the dirt,
They are happy with it and we can relieve our stress,
Termite and ants people are humble and work very hard,
To destroy the alive and dead troubles into useful organic manure,
Let us keep them out of our home, in the garden,
We have the insect characters, when we are the visitors,
Let us be any insect and secure a place in the hearts,
Never let us to be the rats to destroy the peace of the hosts,
When we choose to be the one, we will be hurt and eaten up,
As rats are created as food for the fanged reptiles and vulturous birds,

You have a true ability to disguise lessons almost like parables.

Visitors should never turn as pests to our hosts! Through pleasurable presence and amiable talk, we should try to be a delight to them! The message is beautifully given! !
