Holy Crickets!

OK, so Vickie's home from her vacation and she has discovered the cricket that was placed in her yard thanks to Marianne. I'd say I had nothing to do with it, but everyone would know I was fibbing. Anyway, the Poem that Marianne wrote and that we attached to the cricket is below, if you want to read it.

Aunt Vickie, The Cricket & Two Pranksters

A friendship developed across the miles

Because of the internet, two blogs and some smiles


Netters and Mare quickly hit it off

Two pranksters whose paths should never have crossed


And then came some crickets of the salt & vinegar kind

Everyone yelled "Gross!!" but Mare thought they tasted just fine


To put it all on YouTube, Marianne had a hunch

Little did anyone know Aunt Vickie would lose her lunch


Feeding on the feast that was Aunt Vickie's demise

Mare & Netters put heads together and the two of them got wise


An iron cricket on a post at a yard sale for half a dollar

What better way to make dear Aunt Vickie hollar


Shipped from Texas to Nebrasky with lots of love

And a little help from the prankster gods above


A yard ornament and a memory that will never be lost

By two pranksters whose paths should never have crossed.
