Attack Of The Roaches

I went to a friend’s house just the other day.
I tell you that place I would not rather stay.

The roaches are bad; they take over the place.
Let me tell you the story…it all happened this way.

When it was time to eat, I looked around.   What the hell!
This place seemed to be loaded with a bunch of roach motels.

So we ate our food, for more my friend begged.
But something troubled me; something crawling up my leg.

It was a cockroach! I jumped up and misbehaved.
So what else was there to do, but reach for a can of raid.

I tried to spray the thing, running after it like a soldier.
It ran into a hole, but peaked out saying,”This isn’t over!”

I went back to the table…that episode gave me the creeps.
But heck I was hungry, so I returned to my place to eat.

What I saw next put me in a sour mood.
A roach was giving thanks and proceeded to eat my food!

Well so much for dinner, I’ll call it a night and brush my teeth.
I flicked on the light, there he was, “Aaah,  so again we meet!”

“I told you this isn’t over,” then he flew towards my face.
I ducked and I took off running in a panic haste.

This roach seemed determined as he flew towards me.
“If I don’t get you now, I will get you while your asleep.”

“Every step and move you make, you’ll think of only me.
I’ll pop up when you least expect it, count on that, hehehe.”

I confronted my friend telling him, “This house the roaches rule…”
I went to say more, but he interrupted, “Silence you fool!”

“Our roaches aren’t that bad…” but suddenly he let out a scream.
A roach crawled in his shorts, now he’s coming apart at the seams.

I was laughing so hard at him that I was turning blue.
Suddenly I stopped laughing, because by my ear something flew.

It was that flying cockroach, so like a running-back I ran.
This was too much for me to take, more than I could stand.

I ran out the house and said enough is enough.
If my friend don’t want to be friends no more, then oh well, tough!”

This story was a fiction, but this truth may hurt.
You see a roach, there are more, so make a diligent search.

Don’t be a victim. Please be safe and whatever you do…
don’t let a bunch of no good roaches get the best of you!

To be continued.

    This is the kind of poem that could give you the creeps. haha I’ll keep my eyes open in the future. 🙂

    • You’re telling me! This poem was inspired by being at a friend’s house and as we were sitting at the table talking, a cockroach tried to sneak me from behind and I jumped up and ran, thus this poem was born. My friend’s mom told me, “Oh thanks Jarid you use my house inspired you to write about roaches. lol” Appreciate the comments. Part 2 is even more crazier.

  2. YUCK! Fortunately I’ve never had to deal with the little cretins, and this makes me even more glad!
