Elongated Cricket

Elongated cricket did a two-step dance He had learned in the south of France He is dapper and distinguished my cousin said. I rolled my green eyes to the back of my head. He’s a cricket! A bug, nothing at all! I replied. Elongated cricket slapped my head up to one side. Sorry, I told him, but I did not realize the truth. That you are going to be marrying my mama Ruth. I learned to like him, but he was never my dad. He was an honorable dude, not a meanie or cad. But introducing a cricket as your stepdad is strange. Especially if he flies off each time, a bit out of range.
