The Cockroach's Bold Feast

In a kitchen warm, where the sunlight gleamed,
A cockroach roamed, and boldly schemed.
The hoose was quiet, the folk awa’,
Their day was busy wi’ tasks tae dae an’ a’.

He scuttled aboot wi’ a confident air,
Climbed up the table wi’ nae a care.
Crumbs an’ crumbs, he claimed as his prize,
Feastin’ boldly, wi’ darin’ eyes.

“This kitchen is mine!” he declared wi’ glee,
“Nae one tae stop me, nae one tae see!”
He danced on the plates, he climbed up the wa’,
Feelin’ invincible, rulin’ it a’.

But och, too soon, the folk returned,
Their patience an’ kindness quickly burned.
For there on the table, bold an’ unwise,
The cockroach stood, a shockin’ surprise.

A sandal was raised, a swift blow came doon,
The cockroach’s reign ended wi’ a frown.
Nae mair feastin’, nae mair pride,
His bold adventure had sadly died.

Moral o’ the story:
Dinnae rejoice o’er what ye gain,
When others’ minds are elsewhere ta’en.
For when they turn, ye’ll pay the cost,
And lose it all—aye, even more than ye lost.
