cockroaches. – Meenas Poems

The Restrictions All Around.

The mosquitoes bite me

I framed my windows with nets

the cockroaches hamper me

Everywhere I placed the trap sets

the lizards play around me

I placed antidotes in corners and dents

the ants get into my sugar container with glee

I draw lines with a chalk all around

now the squirrels play havoc in a spree

know not how to restrict them in a round

they eat up the fruits in the trees

build nests on windows and attic as found

stay I worried all the way

as I could fin no way

I have closed my house absolutely

only sun could enter freely

no chance of wind blowing through

a kind of living in a cage for necessity

with none to control or frighten me blue

Habitations in The Tropics.

Reptiles are found in abundance in tropics.
Lizards and cockroaches swarm every household.
Nights are times when cockroaches come out from the attic.
They rush out from the drains flooding the bathrooms totally bold
Kitchens are no exceptions to their expeditions static
To get them out is difficult and needs a lot of patience

The cockroaches fly high and descend in alarming speed
They are found in the dirtiest drains eating filth
contaminating the household with their presence indeed!
Deploying chemicals to destroy them brings destruction in stealth.
as the poison that kills them also would creep into the human system
causing not death but allergies and infections in great deal
To get them out is difficult and needs a lot of patience.

Lizards do not so much harm as they are mostly found on the walls.
They cackle and jump here and there giving a jerk.
They are sworn enemies to cockroaches as they catch hold of them at calls
by diving across and gulp them up in no time gaining a perk
Funny as it is these two live together in the tropics
that too in multitudes as though they are invincible battalion.
Lizards and cockroaches have become part of the habitation in the tropics.
