Cockroaches and Cold-Callers
We honor life as part of God’s creation
Its good is an objective reality
Cruelty to animals is an abomination
(Though a cockroach we flush with fiendish glee)
“Hi, this is Heather; we’re taking a survey…”
There are variations on this Leaden Rule
For if you haven’t sent a cockroach down the loo
(This practice should be taught in every school)
An telephone cold-caller will certainly do
“Good morning! We’re giving away free siding…”
Thus you may WOOOOSH! a swindler or a roach
Completely free of any self-reproach
“This isn’t a sales call; we only want to ask…”
