Termite Do Right

Do termites do anything good?
Researchers say that yes they do,
And actually help living wood
When times of drought are going through.
Termites dig tunnels through the ground,
Allowing the soil to aerate,
And retain moisture all around,
Keeping the trees in healthy state.
Droughts are becoming more severe.
Termites can play a buffer role,
So forests might not disappear.
Termites can lessen the death toll.

Just when you thought termites all bad,
Some good stuff from them can be had.
