Goddamn Roaches

        I killed ten thousand roaches
        There were thousands more
         There must be a secret lair
             I haven't seen before

       They crawl across the ceiling
           From out of little holes
     They baptize all their off spring
       in my dumb cat's water bowl

     They move around my furniture
         in the middle of the night
          All my s**t is rearranged
      You know that just ain't right

   They have turf wars in the kitchen
        The pots and pans they fly
     They car jacked a Verizon Van
         They rob all passers by

       I use every spray imaginable
          Banned FDA pesticides
        A secret unstable formula
      Made from old formaldehyde

    I went flame thrower on their asses
   Constructed from a lighter and spray
      I incinerated many thousands
       and still they won't go away

       This war is unconditional
       The outcome is unknown
        Next I'm going Kamikazi
      Strappin on predator drone

Haha they're rather persistent little buggers, this was light hearted and definitely worth a read!

Thank you willow

This was very entertaining; those fuckers can be relentless.

[Baby Ricochet]

Yes they are. Thank you for the review

My skin is crawling. If we were friends in the real world, I would never come over. I have this irrational fear of bugs...it's almost hindering at times. But, hey, fantastic poem. Got my blood pumping, even though not in the usual ways I like ;P

[Baby Ricochet]

I live in SW Florida where you can't swing a dead alligator without hitting roaches. Thank you for the review Samantha

[SamanthaMarie]

What an amusing expression...and you're welcome.

It's a local custom Yankees don't know about

[SamanthaMarie]

Yankees..or just anybody that doesn't live with alligators? I wonder if people that live in California are considered Yankees?

LOL my friend and I have decided that roaches are going to become the next world power because they just won't go away and they just wont die. But until the time when these not-so-meek little buggers inherit the earth, I will enjoy this poem. very original and very entertaining Baby! lol

[Baby Ricochet]

I laughed out loud through the entire reading of this piece because I have never in my f*****g life seen so many goddamn roaches as I have since I moved to Florida...it's an epidemic. We have a friend who is going to hook us up with some Demon, but just this morning I found one in Ralphie's water bowl, so...I can totally relate. Nasty f*****g things. Awesome write, Baby. My sentiments exactly.

[Baby Ricochet]

Oh I hate them so much I'd go Kamikazi on them if they ever enter my home again. We get giant ones here that fly right at ya face, enough to make you stir crazy. Another awesome poem. Ricochet.
