So ugly was he that I shuddered. <br />And quick to hide in tiny shadows, <br />just eyeing me, to see what I <br />had planned to do as predator. <br />It is enough I said out loud, <br />I like the geckos and the frogs, <br />but roaches give me all the creeps <br />they have to go, there is no mercy. <br />The magazine was close at hand <br />it was brand new and had a story <br />of old Houdini from the past <br />I hit him hard, would not regret <br />and slowly lifted up the mag <br />where did he go, the little bastard?<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/houdini-roach/
