I squashed a cockroach the other day. A big, Fat, Cockroach. It was trying to get away and I squashed it. Not that I had anything against that, Particular cockroach but, I was bare-foot. I had tea, And biscuits, And was bare-foot when he made his dash across the corridor. It took some time to calm down and, Fetch another tray. When I returned, The cockroach had moved. A thick, white streak, Of substantial viscosity, Ran right across the floor and, Straight under my door. Her gartered leg was up on the table. She removed a delicate silver pistol and, With his back turned, Fired a single shot. I used a shoe this time, Like a maniac, And then, Framed by a single, Swinging light-bulb, Waited for the detective.
