A Cricket Is On Mars

As cricket moves about on this land called Mars
He begins to think he is a superstar
With bright lights and glitter
He can hear something titter
He climbs high onto the mountaintop
Looks down sees a fountain spewing soda pop
Soda pop the colors of red, white, and blue
He says let’s have a barbecue
Then I can practice being on Broadway
Now gentle readers you say
these words are a little strange
Well since cricket is a doin’ the writin’
And if you just traveled across the universe
In the tail of a blasted rocketship
Hurled though space coming to a crashing stop
Let ole cricket tell you about strange
Cause crickets need water or they hallucinate.
Oh! Look!
A cricket belly dancer
Look at those veils
Hallucinations I say
Hallucinations

Love Bon-Bon
