Analysis of The Death of A Cockroach
A comely Cockroach that
I saw in my toilet
Moved it's whiskers
Caught a Moth in it's mouth tips
Fluttered hither and thither
Enjoying itself there
Flustered me in the flurry
Waved my hands against the intruder
Suddenly it fell into the toilet
I flushed the toilet
That comely Cockroach
Caught in the whirlpool
It wheeled wheezed whined and whelmed
What is our fate it is God who deemed.
