Eager Firebug

Cicadas sing an age old song
The ground gives way for their emergence
Camoflauge body and red eyes glow
Come on mom let's go!!
It time for the fireworks show
Blazing sparkles, spinning thrills
Giggles and wiggles excitement chills
todays the day fun and lights

Anticipation
Can't 
Wait

\l/             ~Rumble~
