A Cockroach Christmas!

It's Christmas time for roaches
Under the kitchen sink...
But you got rid of those pests -
Ha! That's what YOU think!



Truth is they're celebrating
Just like you and I do.
They're having a feast
And exchanging gifts too!



While the day keeps you busy
With much food to be made,
They're all getting ready
For the evenings big raid.

When out in the kitchen
There arises a clatter,
The sentrys dispatch
To see what is the matter...

They all come to watch
With great anticipation
To see what hits the floor
For their big celebration!



Out into the kitchen
The cockroaches creep
Once the whole family
Is finally asleep...



They'll scramble around
And gather their keep
An absolute feast
Is what they shall reap.



They'll never have a reason
To get out or retreat
As long as they can always find
Some scraps and crumbs to eat!
