two minute Tanka

Cause that's how much time I spent making it up

The last man on earth 

Will be killed in a shootout 

With a giant roach 

Over twenty bucks of crack 

cause addiction and roaches

Will be the last things to go 

Author's Note

Goddamn roaches. Always hoarding the crack.

Clever as always, BR. And to think you wrote this for only two minutes! I can't believe I'm such a turtle.

Yup, the roaches will survive it all.....and addictions will never end, will they? Hell, they are more constant than death and taxes! Witty write! Lydi**

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Lydia

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

Damn, this is quite witty for only two minutes of your life! I love how you found more than one way to express the word "end" and related them to each other. Great work!

This is AWESOME!! (And I think you may be right, on top of that). Have you heard of The Asylum movie studio? This sounds like one of their plot summaries.

[Baby Ricochet]

I've not heard of them. Thanks for stopping by

I agree with Roark How will you cast the roach...?

[Baby Ricochet]

Jack Nicholson

[Marie]

But of course. Who else?

[Baby Ricochet]

Vin diesel

I didn't mean "who else" as in who else could play the part; I meant who else BUT Jack Nicholson could do it.
