Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Cricket Guard

Around the world the cricket be
In the home quite a good luck charm,
Chirping and singing happily,
And if silent be an alarm
That something in the home be wrong.
Perhaps an intruder be there.
When all be right, again the song
From the cricket does fill the air.
The cricket makes its chirp of cheer
Not from the mouth but from the wing.
Wings rubbed together and ears hear
The song that the cricket does sing.

If happy and wondering why,
Perhaps a cricket sings nearby.
