The Needle Barely Moves

       Man weds cockroach in church ceremony  
        Guests munch on freshly grilled abalone

      Pastor upholds his sworn duty
        Lectures bride and groom on infidelity

      Barely two months into marriage
        Tiny baby cockroach appears in a carriage

      Headlines shout out the bad news  
         Seems Mrs. Cockroach was groped and abused

      Minister contacted Planned Parenthood
         Lacking precedent, post-full-term abortion approved
