Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Talk Roach

Two roaches were in an alley,
Munching on garbage in a can.
In between munch, some small talk be
That covers a roach's mind span.
One roach asked the other, "What's new?"
The other replied, "I checked out"
"A new restaurant I went to,"
"A clean establishment, no doubt,"
"Spotless kitchen - no dirt or waste,"
"Sanitary in ev'ry way,"
"Not appetizing to my taste."
The first roach frowned and then did say,

"Please don't talk about clean and neat,"
"Not while I am trying to eat."
