Grasshoppers
Chewing, crunching, jumping Munching, chawing, groveling
There's no end to them
Milllions, trillions of hoppers
Flying, crawling, knawing
They keep coming
colorful, frightful, horrible
Jumping, munching, eating
My flowers and grass are gone
The grasshoppers have taken over
Grasshoppers jumping around
Found all over the ground
I've got them bad When will they leave?
My sanity is threatened
Grasshopper fever My farm, my fields, my yard
Help, I've been had!
Grasshoppers have taken over
Chewing, crunching, jumping
Ugly grasshoppers!
