• - – - – AT NIGHT IN THE YARD – - – -

   

  
  

  After dark,  if I had been good,

  
  

  Mom often said,

  
  

  “I guess you could,

  
  

  If you in the yard stayed,

  
  

  Go out and enjoy the warm evening.

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  I would go out and quietly,

  
  

  Do my normal,  Cricket hunt,

  
  

  And nightly,

  
  

  A cricket would chirp,

  
  

  Slightly.

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  But even outdoors, in the dark,

  
  

  I never found one,

  
  

  Got close and had a lark,

  
  

  What would I have I done,

  
  

  Had I made the capture ? ? ? ?
