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.
