cockroach

From the corner of my eyes I snuck a peak, You always like to play hide and seek. With a quick overview I watched you scatter, Attempting to make you splatter. With irrational responses, I declared your demise But the attempts were futile, because of your size With you in the room It was stealing my joy I broke a glass jar and even a child's toy But you came down from that wall And very soon I watched you fall Funny, you were right under my feet That is where I announced your defeat! You were hard to kill But into the carpet your guts did spill Overwhelmed with triumph, radiating from my face A worthless cockroach has no residence in this place! By: Sabina Nicole
