see it running on the floor
it went down flat under the door
before long it’s running back
here or there to find a crack
this is a most peculiar bug
as I see it going under the rug
whenever we meet in the hall
it darts towards me and not the wall
no way I am going to step on its shell
the sound of a crunch will make me yell
I step aside and let it go by
it will have to find a new way to die

Oh no… there is no way you can step on a roach.

They’re indestructible anyway. Unless you have a flame-thrower handy.

I like how you made the cockroach look like it wants you to step on it. For some reason all this cockroach fighting reminds me of the first Men In Black movie.

Thankfully I don’t see them anymore here in Canada ~ No crunching from me, just let it go and hopefully it will die from poison ~

The funniest way they die is when they roll on their back and they can’t get right side up.
