The grasshopper 


The tiny grasshopper jumped 

In a hurry it was a bit scrimped 


A pair of round eyes peeped out

Nice to witness the pretty stout 


It never crashes its jackhammer paws

It suddenly crunched in the corner jaws


It took a sturdy stance for a moment there

To hop for some imminent hidden fear 


It’s long legs rest on the ground 

Just like a teased hungry hound 


Treacherous it looks at times

Scissor like antennas so Devine 


Oh have mercy on the poor hopper 

It is neither an aeroplane or a chopper
