Do You Hear Something?
Thu Sep 01 2005


Last night as I tossed and turned trying to get to sleep, I heard a cricket.

You know how they usually sound....

Chreeah-Chreeah-Chreeah-Cheeah-Chreeah...

Well this poor fellow sounded more like: Chee. . . Chee. . .Chee

I figure he was a one legged cricket.

Perhaps he met his match in a hungry field mouse who grabbed his dangling leg as he rested on a leaf one late afternoon in the garden. The rest is too gruesome to relate I'm sure.

But it didn't keep him from TRYING to attract a mate.

I suppose there is a place for one legged males in the cricket matchmaking business.

His ad could read:

SOLC (single one legged cricket)- Seeks SWEFC (single well endowed female cricket) What's left of me is all yours!

( I apologize for Cupcake. She obviously did not get enough sleep last night and needs a nap. . . God knows *I* could use one after reading this entry!)

    There's a cricket just outside the window here - should I send her over? At least, I'm hoping it's a she. ;o)

    I will never again be able to listen to crickets without wondering.......... I do believe however mine are all fully functional and perhaps even well endowed......at least they make enough noise to suggest it. :)

    Did I send you a Private reply? I didn't do it on purpose and it didn't show up on your comments.

    It was about how beautiful crickets sound when you slow down the speed of a recording. Someone gave me a slowed down version once and said the crickets praise God continually. It really was beautiful to hear.

    God Bless....Parett
