Cricket haiku
Sunday, August 5th, 2007Out on Watts Bar Lake
There was a little green bug
Stowaway on boat
Pigpen spied it first
Just a little green cricket
Wants to be his friend
But it was a bug
He wasn’t sure if it bites
Or otherwise mean
Pigpen was nervous
Man, he had to pick it up
Maybe without touch
Finally, with help
Good deal of encouragement
Pigpen got cricket
It crawled up his arm
And then it crawled back down his arm
To Pigpen’s cackles
It jumped in the lake
So Pigpen was heartbroken
Cried on the way home
(he’s better now)
