Don’t even dream of winning –
you’ve read the reports
seen us on YouTube
cringed at the images.
You think you can get us
at ground level
breaking through foundations.
Once we’re properly out, on the march, that’s it, unless
you purge deep.
Our
roots
are
deeper
than
you
can
dig.
We know biological control is under trial.
You decide if chemicals are ethical.
You want a solution
but there is none.
You won’t find us
but we’re everywhere
waiting.
We decide when to strike.
We’re in your garden.
