Cricket oh cricket
......Smashed on the floor
Did somebody step on you
......As they walked out the door?
Did they scream extra loud
......And squish you on sight?
Cricket oh cricket
.......Have you been there all night?
Cricket oh cricket
......So very dead
Did some giant foot come
......And dance on your head?
Did they kill you on purpose
......Or by accident?
Cricket oh cricket
......Can I name you Brent?
.........................
'Brent', altho people have retitled it 'The Cricket Poem'.
An old poem I've had published a few times. Based on a real live dead chricket no less
