Love Poem: The Grasshopper

The Grasshopper

Resting on a tall blade of grass 
As two more go meandering past
His giant eyes surveying the land
Sitting all alone on that strand

Sitting there so willing to wait
As so soon he was hit by fate
Landing on the same blade of grass
He fell off and landed on his a@#

She called out "are you alright?"
Maybe this is my shinning night
And when he looked up at her
Music played "The Way We Were"

She jumped down to the ground
As her love has now been found 
Quickly they suddenly took flight 
As a giant sneaker came into sight
