THE SINGING GRASSHOPPER

His/her cheerful CHIRRUP! a salutory buzz
when all would be wind and leaves otherwise
Singing each to each ,signalling leaps
sometimes solitary,yet always capable of company
(if there were too many ,you might call it a plague of locusts)-
yet the same is true of water.Drops for flowers and gardens
floods for towns,cities,villages.Quality over quantity!
One silver line of singing may redeem us
too many become advertising in newspapers.
