Ode to My New Friend Cricket

Cricket 1

If nary a canary
Has lit careless on your wrist
You ought to be aware
It is an aviary bliss

To tempt a wary fairy
Is a fairly hairy feat
But you’ll feel very airy

When she answers, “lettuce eat!”

    What a beautiful little birdee! Gorgeous color and adorable name. And she likes lettuce?? Too cute! She reminds me of the pretty pretty birds in “Rio” (the movie). Have fun with your new baby!

    • OMG, she loooooves lettuce, as well as all other forms of veg. That’s the only reason she’s sitting there. Although I have to say, after she finished it she stayed for a while, and actually started walking UP my arm. So that’s a good sign, right? :)

      P.S. Not only does she hop around a lot, but she does in fact make a sound EXACTLY like a cricket. It’s really cute.
