Once upon a time, I knew a roach A travelling salesman, he'd always fly coach One day a crew member called him unclean That roach! He created a scene Now no one thinks he's yucky And with the lawsuit money he started a brooch business out in Fayette, Kentucky

This was supposed to be my second , or third, attempt at a limerick; everything was fine until I got to the last line. I had to revise it all – now it’s just a freeform poem that dreamed of being a limerick.
