Cricket Conversations

Ch-ch. Ch-ch. These crickets drive me crazy. Ch-ch. Ch-ch. They keep me up all night. Ch-ch. Ch-ch. My neighbor says they're peepers* Ch-ch. Ch-ch. But I don't think he's right. Ch-ch. Ch-ch. I'm tossing and I'm turning. Ch-ch. Ch-ch. I haven't slept a wink. Ch-ch. Ch-ch. Invading all my brain cells, Ch-ch. Ch-ch. They will not let me think. Ch-ch. Ch-ch. It's peaceful in the country Ch-ch. Ch-ch. If crickets don't converse. Ch-ch. Ch-ch. The city has its sirens Ch-ch. Ch-ch. But cricket chirps are worse. Ch-ch. Ch-ch. I'm waiting for the winter. Ch-ch. Ch-ch. And man, the time does creep! Ch-ch. Ch-ch. When crickets take vacation, Ch-ch. Ch-ch. So I can get some sleep! * tiny frogs

I hear crickets where I live too but more eery are the coyotes who scream in the distance. Nicely written.Lee
