My legs are long and skinny,
But my thighs are full of might.
My wings make quite a noise,
Whenever they take flight.

I'm green and have two feelers,
I spit tobacco juice.
I hop across fields and lawns,
And I'm smaller than a goose.

In fact, I am an insect
And fairly large in size.
I may not have an owl's brain,
But I'd say I'm very wise!

~ * ~

Howdy! I'm a grasshopper!
I'm a bug that's long and lean.
You may consider me a pest,
But I'm never, ever mean!

This is darling.  I can visualize it illustrated in a child's book of poems.  Have you thought of publishing such a book?
They would love the upbeat style you have.

Ah, you do not know the grasshopper I know, he's deadly in the martial arts -- he is my instructor, "the grasshopper" and he loves to toss around this here little bunny!  Of course, a time or two that I've had my way seen

This was very cute -

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

I must admit, that when grasshoppers swarm, they develop a mob mentality! lol
