Hard Drive Roach

Is this a thing? Yeah, It's a thing.

My hard drive's full of roaches 

I took it all apart 

They scampered all directions 

They like it in the dark 

They swarmed all over my ideas 

My giant writer's block 

It was delivered COD

They're never out of stock 

Once my words flowed like a river

A monsoon of free thought 

A drought has passed across my page

and stalled my Juggernaut 

It's all because of global warming 

My words all blew away

Roaches ran into my mind

and now they're here to stay

My hard drive's full of roaches

They ate it through and through 

They rearranged my circuit boards 

and left a bad review 

Author's Note

It's hard to get rid of those little fuckers

Yes! Blame the roaches! And global warming... ;) Nothing like writing about the dreaded Block to help exterminate it!

[Baby Ricochet]

That's for sure

[Dr. Wood ?]

of course in England we call em cockroaches..but that won't scan....Great poem Baby, funny how we can write a poem about our inability to write...But it helps to clear out those roaches

[Baby Ricochet]

Yes it does

I think they make sprays for roaches...lol just kidding...:)...................

[Baby Ricochet]

You can make a flame thrower out of spray and a lighter. Scares the s**t out of them.

[Sami Khalil]

Hahaha...So true. You are welcome...:).....................

You can sprinkle boric acid powder on them. They go crazy and die, and then other roaches eat them, and they go crazy and die too. That's how I cut down on the roach population in my house, though I don't think it's possible to completely get rid of them.

Poems on writer's block are always fun. This is a particularly buggy one. :)

[Baby Ricochet]

Roaches are so pesky--it's easy to blame all your roubles on them. Another writer on here managed to get flies behnd his monitor screen. I have no idea how that happened--and that really did happen.

[Baby Ricochet]

Flies? Now that's whacked

[Vidya Bacchus]

Roaches in a hard-drive! I do like that it seems you had began with an idea and hit a stop, and decided to drive on forwards with the idea anyways, it's rather clever and with your sense of humor it's bound to get readers, including myself, chuckling in their seats. Truly hilarious, keep it up!

[Baby Ricochet]

Thanks Tai
