He was a mean old football coach
Who always had an odd approach
His antennas were long
His mouth was all wrong
His faced featured a giant cock-roach

Dear roach on the table
Legs up
Can you spell pathetic?
What a drama roach!
My mother would understand my disgust.
The wind blows the roach over.
Legs down. Not dead at all.
Ugh!

Encroached By A Roach
Encroached by a roach
Those insects which we do dread,
Who we wish were dead.
Jim Horn
Roach with piston which will cock,
To me sounds like a bunch of crock.

Out of their hotels like gypsies they roam,
so we fumigate our infested home.
Foglike drugs they inhale —
roach smoke under the veil.
Dear Mary Jane makes herself right at home.

You deleted it!
Why?
I am getting closed to you
Till we face each other
I hope I have the dang to share that lovely meet with.
Why you run like a ROACH?
I just want to make things clear ;)

Mr. Wink Vis Dang's vacancy meet!
The cardinal number that is the sum of
My one line and his five.
You have nice colors at both wings
Your sound in the middle
Without your favorite perfume
soundless in row Roach.

APPROACH
I break my soul the mend the future approach
Are you thinking about being my coach
Life is sometimes the opposite of the roach
Don't ever try to be your own victim to proach

Trump Wore Broach With Roach
Trump as President around would pouch,
And when he did saw him wear a broach;
Also termite,
Full of spite,
Which would contain silhouette of a roach.
Jim Horn
Beto O'Rourke just said this on the news.

I stood at the helm of,
More
I fought in the valley of,
Less
I, myself, I was the barrel of,
War.
I lay in the ditch of,
Gravy
I crawled up the walls of,
Detest,
I, me, I was the roach of,
Nobility.

One of a kind
ocean music
pounding Goombay rhythms
against the rocks
and rake and scrape rhythms
in the prevailing winds
and the waves mashing the roach
with their feet on the dance floor
of sun and sand
giving awesome summer vibes
from daybreak to sunset

I could never write a poem about
Horseradish
Dust bunnies
Nose hairs
Rat droppings
A dead roach
Cow pies
Mastication
Silverfish
Ketchup
A dirty diaper
A car engine
Naval fuzz
Cobwebs
Vampires
Microphones
Skateboards
Nail clippings
Torn limbs
I say and then I do.

a flea jumps across
the arm of the recliner --
athletic insect
fly tastes the surface
of the bureau -- wood's polish
must be flavorful
a garden spider
darts along the windowsill
as on in-line skates
roach peers at me from
the chair across it's rapt --
antennae flex and twitch

Trump and Black Roach
Everyone's environment Trump did encroach;
Even naked woman wearing beautiful broach;
Wiggle trying,
While dying;
She had turned out to be a huge black roach.
Jim Horn
In order to put up with Trump you have to
be able to laugh him off like his idiot supporters
do.

Two cockroaches were talking as they munched garbage in an alley.
"I was just at that new restaurant across the street.
The kitchen is spotless. The floor shines a bright gleam.
There isn't any dirt anywhere. It's completely sanitary."
"Please," said the other roach frowning, "not while I'm eating."

praying* serenely
screams at the sight of a roach
sheer panic display
*Psalm 55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

A futile and doomed love
May be worse than nothing,
For nothing is nonexistence --
No impact, no effect, no feeling;
But this drains emotion and motivation.
This is my talent buried in the earth,
A fey magnet for thoughts and hopes,
A roach motel for the soul;
Its synthetically sweet fumes beckon,
And enervate and kill.

Through and after
A nuclear blast
We'll still be around
Eating crap
Fear of light
Perserves out fate
Were hidden between cracks
In the darkest of place
Persnickety eaters
Surely not
We'll eat our own dead
Just merely for a snack
We will still be around
Long after you're gone
Eluding light
And eating crap

I do not know?
they said justice
but meant
just us
and here I sit—
a roach in a cage of light,
the hum of the air thick
with bleach and lies.
my skin
was the evidence.
my eyes—guilty.
no rich man ever came
this far south
to die
in a room this cold.
I write with broken pencils
and dream of rain,
the kind that doesn't stop.

Cockroach germs come off their feet
Walking on used dishes with left over sweet
Cook goes after the bug with a yellow broom
Cockroach runs rapidly out of the kitchen room
Cook thinks everything will now be okay
Not knowing the roach laid forty eggs that day
in the cupboard under the kitchen sink
the eggs are cozy, sort of in the pink.

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

Light Verse
She came in as subtly as a verdent roach can
disguised as a ladybug, in a red polka dotted outfit
Beetles, grasshoppers and worms gave her a wide berth
feeling that something was wrong, but not quite knowing what
one brave firefly flew over to have a closer look
“It’s the one we banished,” he reported.
They chased her away, then, led by a young boy.
Bugs being who they are.

My pet roach and I got cozy tonight
Ready for dreamland, our bed took flight
Roach loves it when we glide into outer space
I keep silent, sleeping with breathless grace.
Roach tries to tell me scary stories later.
Pretending we almost fell down a shaft, an elevator.
His wild fabrications are supposed to give me awful nightmares.
I ignore instigating, so he runs off to tease grizzly bears.

Don't drop the Soap.
Don't step on the Roach.
You will pay the Price,
But you will return as a Ghost.
For these brave heroes of the 141,
One killed by a bomb, two from a gun,
The world stands outside of death's door,
With the looming threat of nuclear war.
But in spite of a foriegn invasion,
Intent on achieving world domination,
Political tensions igniting the spark,
Bravo Six, going dark.
