As far as I'm concerned, let all those roaches live in Texas. Cute bouncy rhyme in this. I'll check the Yellow Pages, but I don't believe we have any Roach Geek services listed here. Great ending, depending on the roach to get all the other bugs out. Meanwhile, the critter has probably decided to take up residence in your cabinet. At least he'll be handy if you have any more problems with your computer. judi

What a clever approach, use a roach to find a roach. Oh man what a bugaboo. I am here to tell you. I am really bugging out. I am about to shout. Hidey, hidey ho. It's time for the bugs to go.

Hello Bill Smiles
I must say I looked up to see what a was a geek
squad roach and found out
Sounds like to me they use nymphs,
(baby cockroaches - to battle away with the other bugs. Wonder if that is how we end up with these unknown virus in our computers?

Hi Bill. Well this is a trick that I'd rather not use to get rid of the bugs in my computer with the use of another bug. Clever, innovative and amusing. Marilyn

As always, Bill, bouncy rhythms filled with fun!
It is interesting how we've adapted our language to refer to computer problems in terms of bugs and viruses. Is that germophobia, I wonder?
At any rate, a good addition to cockroach world.

I never knew that 'roach' was a nickname for computer technicians from Best Buy or the Geek Squad. But they do get all the bugs out. Just like real roaches that seem to live through anything other bugs succumb to.

Keep writing

    There should be a stock market it3m for cockroaches.

    They would probably be the strongest and most growing stock. Also, with the most longevity for they are said to be the only living things that can survive a nuclear attack.

Hey my friend, first, sorry that I am out of sixes; to me this is a perfect 10. I had a long laugh with my grand children reading your amusing and wonderful, crafty poem. Superb flow with excellent rhymes; thank you for the treat but no cockroaches, please.

Hahahaha. Right up there with my cat looking for the mouse I speak of.

I think I'll wait for the Geeks, if you don't mind. The roach might decide to take up residence in my computer. 8-)

This work has reached the exceptional level

Dear Bill, of all the six legged creatures in God's creation there is NOTHING so revolting as a COCKROACH! Ugh! Eeyeeew! Trust you to write poetry about such loathsome beasts. I was going to respond to the last piece you presented about Jeff Bezos and a cockroach, but my gorge rose and I decided to express my feelings with this piece. You have a talent for making the unattractive seem interesting, and worth writing about, as your efforts with Walruses and other species of creatures
has shown, My efforts are mainly of the "flowers and pussycats" genre so I admire your choice of subject as adventurous and out of the "norm".But,Darling "Cockroaches?!!". Still they're part of the scene you're presently in so I guess they're "Par for the course". Well done cheers Cass

    Thanks so much, Cass, for the spiffy review, complete with a six. I'll try to get through the bug file fast and find a kitty cat to write about. Bill
