Death of a Cockroach

Auburn armour pads his square frame,
His lithe, flailing legs wriggle in vain,
As the noxious spray pervades his core,
This verminous pest exists no more...

-A couple of days ago I

-A couple of days ago I killed a 1000-legged bug (whatever the proper name is), the biggest I've ever seen. Its legs were still dancing when I sliced it in half. Yuk! I wish I could use spray but the fumes I can't take. Must have been a bug in my past life. Enjoyed your cockroach poem. Reminds me of some folks I know who are afraid of the light. ~A "If you think you're free, there's no escape possible." ~ Ram Dass
