Roach Man cometh
creep through your door
uninvited caller
homeless... poor
He knows your gullabilities
detects free cooch
everything available
Roach Man will freely mooch

Sample all your foodstuffs
until fully fed
crawl into your bed
nightly but never wed

Roach men run in droves
into government housing
most strongly attracted
to other filth and lousing

The worst of the Roach Men
attack the little children
rightful recipients
of benefits Roach Man's filchin'

Roach Man... not much of a man
perhaps simply Roach
unlike the Antman's duteous efforts
Roach Man's habits warrant reproach

Whilst most detest
the Roach Man's being
even if some day he's abandoned...
there always lurks a sympathizer near
just waiting to reside in tandem
Roach Man species
never endangered
so long as he may live dutch
his livelihood dependeth on...
Roach Woman...
his lifeline and crutch.
