Death of a Cockroach




At first it appeared
Immediately I feared
Backwards I steered
'Twas creepy and weird

Its death when I thought
Let-live or die, dilemma it brought
So, moral justice I sought
It brings fear and distraught
To myself I taught
Must kill it, with myself I fought

I ran down the stairs
There, beside the chairs
Found Baygon, its death weapon
This will send it straight to heaven

I came back to the spot
Stared at it a lot
Prayed to the god
And sprayed, the death shot

Immediately, it ran violently
I kept spraying constantly
It ran some more abruptly
But death caught on, consequently

There it lay, in front of me
I kneeled down to see
Prayed for it, again to thee
Waited for its life to flee

Took so long that I couldn't wait
Time was midnight, already late
Put a paper under its weight
Threw it out and sealed its fate.
