Monsieur Grasshopper (Silly Verse)
One leg two legs
Hop to the beat
Never mind what others say
I sometimes like to cheat
On the tree I like to stretch
and bask in color green
Yet on a branch I simply doze
in dismal color brown.
My puny size and fleet of foot
confuse people’s eyes
They never know where I am at
So illusive I am.
I sing sweeter than cicadas
In an octave higher too
Even birds look at me with envy
Except the cuckatoo.
Heh, heh ….. Boo.!
