Crickets

Crickets in the night
Ululating songs of fright
Crickets in the night
sing to me the melodies so trite

The bats carry in the night
I'm scared for my life
Crickets can you sing to me
Your sorrowful rhapsodies?

Cricket sing to me songs of tyranny
Cricket tonight the melodies of fright
Cricket, my sweet, to be, held dear
I'll fly from here--- don't you fear

Cricket your songs
The ones you carry on
Chirp what you call music
An ode of awkward nuisance

Cricket songs of repose,
of love, that never grows
Crickets out my window
Representing sorrow (or silence, or awkwardness)

You're underneath the stars
Playing parodies of Mars
Artless, Heartless, Worthless, Mirthless
Toothless, toothless, nuisance

Cricket to me songs of tyranny
Cricket tonight the melodies of fright
Cricket, my sweet, to be, held dear
I'll fly from here--- don't you fear
