From Kanyakumari to great
We count up the critters,
My friends and I.
Cockroaches crawling all over the train
As we play, “would you rather…”,
Bam! There’s a new stain.
There’s one over your shoulder!
There’s one in your hair.
Ewwww. Cockroaches, cockroaches everywhere.
Slap! goes a sandal.
Smack! The bug is down.
The travellers around us disapprove with a frown.
Gina got forty!
Matthew got ten!
How many want to play this game again?
Anyone? Anyone?
Anyone at all?
The train is leaving…final call.
No? well, don’t worry
If you didn’t play.
Maybe you’ll ride another day.
On the Cockroach Coach from Kanyakumari to
We count up the hits,
My friends and I.
And as we pull into the station,
We heave a sigh.
Though no one is sorry to say, “Good-bye”
To the Cockroach Coach from Kanyakumari to
