Perunga Grasshopper

I watch as a grasshopper prances around
He jumps around without a sound
From grass blade to grass blade he jumps with glee
Until he tires under a tree
But when he wakes from his deep slumber
He is hit by a strong hunger
He searches for food but sadly fails
Then along comes a bird he must bail
He runs so fast he’s like the flash
When all of a sudden crash bash splat
The bird has tripped and fallen
It’s time to get sprawlin'
He gets away he is safe
He jumps with glee he is free
He goes back to searching for some snacks
Until he stumbles along a shack
He can hear something from inside
A human, better run and hide
