The neighbours say I’m crazy
My mother says I’m hazy
But I haven’t a clue why
“Find your dream and make it come true”
Mama said
So I did
My dream is to teach a cockroach to tap dance
Why?
I have no idea
If humans have rhythm
Then so can cockroaches
The first problem I face is shoes
Where to find shoes?
Let alone shoes that small?
How does one communicate with the roach?
Do I wave my arms about?
Or rather should talk to him keeping my voice quite low
Mother said I was delusional
And so did everyone else
If only they realized
Cockroaches are just like everybody else
They don’t bring harm
Look they even crawl up Mama’s arm!
Can’t you see it?
My name on a Broadway sign
But I can’t take all the credit
The talent isn’t even mine.
“Come one come all”
“To see the show”
“Just watch my dear cockroach”
“Go, go,go!”
