I Ate That Roach

(This is a fictional poem) Last week I tried to get out of paying for a meal. But when it backfired, I became quite ill. I put a dead roach in the plate right after the waiter brought the food. It would've been better if I had put the roach in the plate when I was through. When I realized that I ate it, I refunded my lunch. While I was eating, I wondered what made that loud crunch. I made a decision after I ate at that bar and grill. I'll never again try to get out of paying for a meal.
