Simpler Times

I espied a young roach
As he did encroach
Upon a spot I call my place
I gunned him with some mace

In madness he did flee
Into a hole I could not see
Twas assumed death was his fate
Yet he had only gone to mate

And so I sit where I still live
Viewing the territory I did give
Unto this most clever foe
And his multitudes born below
