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

I can almost read this in a Tank Dempsey voice. Try dousing rotten meat in cyanide; then leave it out in the open. It works for me; then again I have a lizard problem, not a roach problem.

They say the meek shall inherit the earth.... bullshit it's cockroaches.
What is that sticky mat you can put down for rodents? Is there one that stops roaches from scampering off? I used to crash in a flat in Canterbury above a bakery. They used to undertake miltary exercises on my sleeping bag until I turned the light on.... they as you say found holes everywhere. God's creatures.... they are the spawn of the devil.

[Baby Ricochet]

Yes they are. Thank you for the review Mr Man

Try sprinkling boric acid power behind the stove and anyplace you think they may be hiding.

They are a part n parcel of life. All varieties. So we just have to live with them.
And no you can't do much. Guess who is best expected to survive and thrive after a nuclear holocaust? Rats and Roaches of course!

Entertaining read Baby!
