God Damn That Cockroach!

Sitting stillish,
But thinking more,
I glance to the right
Of my computerized halls,
And see a cockroach,
Climbing carefully up life’s
Stippled wall.

Sometimes, I wish
I was a cockroach,
Exploring depths of Time,
And, Now. I check, again, it’s
More than halfway across
its universe.

Oops! It just disappeared,
Over a pile of folded clothes…

God damn that cockroach!

Even though cockroaches are disgusting, they have a purpose. What it is, I don't know: maybe to annoy the hell out of man? LOL Enjoyed this write, and one word of advice: shake out your clothes before putting them on *cringe* ! Well done!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Now, now, now..... that is one of God's creatures, too!
Admit that aloud to yourself.....
then dump the clothes on the floor.....
and stomp the little shit!

A shotgun is my preferred weapon to kill those disgusting things, point – shot- done. Oh, but wait until your home alone though. Less chance of harming those you Love.
