THE ROACH

By Edmund Vance Cooke
 (Biologists tell us that the common cockroach has existed since the mid dle- -Carboniferous period of the late Paleozoic age at least) Burns drew a moral from a mouse And sang a lyric to louse, While Riley, pausing in the road, Achieved a greeting to a toad, And Milton hummed lullaby Around that peSky pest, the fly. Now comes my lit, and I approach To chant the glory of the roach Not that I praise the beast, or prize
 him;
 I loathe him, crush him and despise
 him,
 Yet simple justice makes me witness The evidences of his fitness, A fitness proved, to all intent, By longest claims of long descent. Some men still set their names ashine By boasting of a Norman line, And some may count the centuries
 rows
 To patriarch and Pharaohs But genealogy and race And long, long lines of time and place. Are subjects none would care to
 broach
 In presence of the pristine roach. Of all earth's creatures, he is peer, A very insect We're de We're, And still he holds among the swells! You meet him in the best hotels; He travels on the Pullman diner Or on the lordly ocean liner; No place. too sacred or too sure, But he may conquer and secure. Now judge the future by the past, And whose the destiny to last? The serpent and the tiger may ForSwear the flesh and feed on hay; Man may assume an angel-shape Or re-relate him to the ape; Yet they shall join, as time goes on, The dodo and the mastodon. But he, the creature of my song, If his far future be as long As his known past, he shall endure With crest as unabaShed and sure, Till none dispute and none encroach Upon the precincts of the roach. So runs the world. In generality, Men may not like your personality, But if you have the goods and grit To buck the game and stay with 1t, Aeon, on age and age on aeon, Whether patrician or plebeian, Then, whatsoeer the credit due you, The world has got to. hand it to you. So, now, the World and I approach And sing the world-enduring Roach!
