Grasshopper
You are alive, squirming in my hand like a dissatisfied infant or a fish searching for water. You are alive, we are alive. There is something the same in us- some spark undefinable, except by contrast to its cold absence: death. You have a mind and survival instincts and stoic eyes like a sixth sense I cannot recognize. The quiet of the dissection room is heavy...

Grasshopper and the ants were having a laid-back day They did what they wanted, snoozing and snoring away The meadow was breezily uplifting, sharing her grasses. I like being here with my friends, the lads and the lasses....

Premium Member Patience, Grasshopper
Out of the gate Starting off great Fast as he can Flash in the pan Not halfway there Warning signs flare Starting to care: Who snatched the air? Feeling the burn Got much to learn Big sweaty mass Near out of gas Running on fumes Disaster looms End is in sight Form’s not so tight Finish line crossed One thing’s not lost: Still got his grin Do it again!...

So come on marshmallows and Oreos too. We are going to have to make this insane name do. We all gulp it down without thinking about The...
