"Roaches" by Randy Kaplan

There's a roach on my ceiling
He's too high to reach
There's a roach in my garbage
Resting on the pit of a peach

There's a roach in my hat
Soon he'll be in my hair
There's a roach in my closet
He's trying on my underwear

There's a roach on my counter
He's checking out my grocery list
There's a roach on my bookshelf
Reading Metamorphosis

There's ten roaches in my sink
Baby roaches I might add
And their mother's in my shower
Living in my loofah pad

There are roaches in my walls
I can't see them but I know they're there
If I had x-ray vision
I think it would be more than I could bear

There's a roach on my carpet
If I squoosh him he’ll be a stain
If I catch him, though, can I kill him?
I wonder if he feels any pain

All the roaches in my apartment
Are moving their antennas around
And I know what they're saying
Their voices got a high-pitched sound like this

We'll be here tomorrow
Just like yesterday
We'll be here forever
'Cause we're immune to all your poisons
And your traps and your sprays
