Ode to a Cockroach

Ode to a Cockroach

You are such a nasty creature
That is not a lie
If I could just catch you
You would surely die
You scurry around so quickly
Without an ounce of fret
You seem to think I like you
As though you are my pet
If I could I'd smash you
Like a pancake, oh so flat
Then sweep you inconspicuously
Under the welcome mat
I can't be alone here
For you will not leave me be
Because you like to prance around
For everyone to see
So now that you've multiplied
I cannot seem to stay ahead
I see you in the bathroom
I see from my bed
Someday I will move out
And you will win the fight
The only way to not see you
Is to turn off all the lights
