I sensed the presence in the dark br The filthy body against my back br And though I was just half awake br I felt the roughness stroke my neck br br With unexpected strength I leaped br And peeled the alien off myself br Incensed at being violated br I vowed to fight it till the end br br In stealth I groped for something solid br Something deadly to attack with br But the only lethal thing I saw br Was a pencil for my eye brow br br I hurled my weapon at the beast br And hope to maim it in the least br But the aim had gone so poorly br I missed the target shamefully br br Enraged at my hostile response br The rascal lunged at me at once br Scared, I stepped back hastily br I tripped and fell miserably br br Humiliated, I went nuts br I grabbed my slipper and my guts br And when it finally approached br I swat my enemy, the cockroach!br br Jemarie Ragudobr br
