Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Chirp Peril

The chirping of crickets at night

In summer time is less and less.

Partly due to climate change plight

Killing crickets is the best guess.

But also  there's a theory that

Male crickets who do chirping most

To let females know where they're at

Have learned through time that such a boast

Also lets predators know where

They are at, so smart crickets let

Dumber ones chirp, and targets there

For incoming predator threat.

The smarter silent males then usurp

Females responding to dumb male's chirp.
