The Cricket, the annoying Cricket!!
AD Author Andy James Turner
The world has lost a friend today
His tragic story I must relay
He was a tiny singer named Dimly
Who has met his demise, oh so grimly
He had just won First Place on a New Talent Show
So eagerly on tour Dimly and his band did go
He was performing at a gig in Great Britain
An enormous crowd had gathered to listen
Just as he began belting out the theme from ‘Cats’
A cricket hater in the crowd smacked him with a bat
And, alas, our dear dear Dimly – was splat
Memorial Services are being arranged
By Dimly’s betrothed,
Lady Matilda Cricketworth
Lady Matilda asks that in lieu of flowers
Please send monetary donations
To the
‘I’m Going to Sue Andy’s Pants Off
For Dimly’s Wrongful Death Fund’
C/O Lady Matilda’s Solicitor
Sir Jiminy Cricket, Esquire
But not as annoying as a baby sparrow rescued and fed baby food through a syringe for two weeks...Its either 'cheep', 'cheepcheep' or 'cheepcheepcheep' all day long, the five cats love the mystery of the bird in the closed bedroom. I'm hoping Cheepcheep (his name) can be released soon, he had a sparrow visitor today when I had him outside in his cage.
And, no, I don't kill crickets, either, just scootch them outside with a broom. Cute teasing poem, Ed. :)
Very cleverly written, and oh so comical hahaha...
Most excellent!
Dimly and Lady Matilda Cricketworth hahaha.. you crack me up, Ed!
