The Cuddling Cricket

It’s not enough to have a Dragon plus his penguins and pigeons, too? Darn it! I had a limit, until a cute Cuddling Cricket found my shoe. He was just a little baby, who saw the pigeons and decided to hide. Now, he won’t let go of my pants leg; he’s definitely along for the ride. The first time I saw him, I Eeekk’ed and I jumped, yep, about to pounce. But at my response he sighed, and slumped, and he began to cry, at once! At first I couldn’t believe it, so I pulled out my magnifying glass. What I found were soulful eyes, and a face, so very cute, but sad. So now when I stand, A Cuddling Cricket, comes along for the ride. Yeah, he’s now part of the family… Well, of course! Sigh! I replied… He sleeps in a cute little plastic bug box, with a matchbox for a bed. But it’s hard to explain, to others found, in my life, which have fled. I bring a magnifying glass, so they can see him bow so proper and nice. But carrying my Cuddling Cricket around, does have a certain price! Food stores aren’t very understanding, and restaurants, Not At All! Truly! But the paparazzi seem to understand a Cuddling Cricket, completely! He does have his own type of novelty as he carries around his blankie! And he’s just a baby, who needs a Mom, and of course, his little binkie! Honestly, I’m not kidding! There’ve been a few, strange turns, in my life. But, if I have Trolls and Dragon, then a Cuddling Cricket seems, so right!
