A
touchy subject
not often broached,
is the mean and ugly
Texas Cockroach
Now some may say
it's just a boast,
but they haven't seen
this gross a roach
So large it's
lassoed
with a rope,
it can be saddled
well, almost
Be advised
when you're approached,
be wary of this
cunning roach
A revolver may be
your last hope,
to shoot the thing
before it lopes
But if you miss
say Adios,
you will be toast,
to the Texas Cockroach!
