A Cricket In a Thicket

As I idled on the grass I heard a little cricket, But I could not see him though, He was somewhere in a thicket. I found his chirping charming An engaging chap was he, But just where he was chirping from, Was quite a mystery. Yet I did not search I listened That was quite enough for me, He could chirp away all day I enjoyed his company.

Congratulations! This is so sweet and charming. I have to say, as much as you enjoyed his company, I have been known to rearrange furniture at 2:00 a.m. when the persistent chirping won't stop, and it echoes throughout the room! Your little guy sounds sweet!
