2 L/O To be able to present a poem in an imaginative way

3 Cockroaches Cockroaches are among the hardiest insects on the planet. Can survive for long periods on very little food. Can even tolerate high doses of radiation. Extremely adaptable to new environments. Will eat almost anything. Some species can produce over 20,000 young in their lifetime.  Only a handful of the 4,000 species of cockroach are considered common household pests. These ancient, primitive insects are most common where the climate is warm and humid. Famous for their hissing. Cockroaches can reach an impressive nine centimetres in length, although most species are much smaller.
