Comments on The Cicada

I grew up on a Pacific island. Every summer night,
crickets would sings, and frogs would join. I loved listening to their sounds, except when they got too loud, and I started my series of curse words... Other than that, life on the island was quite peaceful.

How you doing, Sweetness?
And, have you seen one??  They are uglier than all get out!  Scary looking even!

In India we also have singing cricket and is called JHINGUR.

I wish we had cicadas around here ...

Because I own several tarantulas (seriously) and figure they might like some Mexican food every once in a while. Plus, I bet they're getting pretty sick of cricket. I know I would.

I bet the main reason the police keep people away from a plane crash is
they don't want anybody walking in and lying down in the crash stuff,
then, when somebody comes up, act like they just woke up and go,
"What was THAT?!"
