Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Bug Battered

The doorbell rang. I answered it.
A giant cockroach stood right there,
And to my nose, it popped a hit;
Then ran off. 'Twas quite a scare.
I was in the grocery store,
Giving a cantaloupe a thump.
That same cockroach kicked me. Before
I could react, off it did jump.
Then just as I was leaving church,
The same damn roach flat knocked me down.
I watched it scoot off in a lurch.
It follows me all over town.

The awful truth that I have found -
A nasty bug's going around.
