A grasshopper was hopping, <br />(Cause that's what they do) <br />He landed on a cactus, <br />And said ah, ah, ahchoo. <br /> <br />'Gesundheit ' someone said, <br />From somewhere behind. <br />And the grasshopper said 'thank-you. <br />I hope you don't mind.' <br /> <br />'The sun is so bright, <br />It just made me sneeze. <br />It's nothing contagious, <br />It's not a disease.' <br /> <br />'So glad to hear that' <br />The voice came again. <br />'Because I was watching, <br />And I took great pains.' <br /> <br />'To hide in this cactus, <br />Until you came near. <br />Because little grasshoppers, <br />Are what I hold dear.' <br /> <br />The grasshopper turned, <br />A pale shade of green. <br />The voice came from a crow, <br />That he hadn't seen. <br /> <br />And that was the last thing, <br />He ever knew. <br />The crow just swallowed him, <br />Didn't even chew. <br /> <br />12/1/11 Alton Texas<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-grasshopper/
