Little Grasshopper

Little grasshopper gives lesson
Hopping here and there in no time at all
Good or bad he keeps on hopping
Without hesitation avoiding the fall

Little grasshopper won’t stay long
Guess he feels too long brings harm
Conscience is clear though he may be wrong
He fears overstaying his welcome

He probably does what he is supposed to
Hopping on the tall green grass for reasons not clear
He probably does it really good too
But overstaying his welcome will only bring tears

Sometimes he gets cozy and wants to linger
Staying on the tall green grass is what he wants
At the same time he can’t help but wonder
Why the tall green grass keeps bowing down

Little grasshopper needs to keep hopping on
As it’s clear he’s weighing the grass down
He hops off the grass for one last time
Straight on to the bare dusty ground

Maybe he’ll be back on the tall green grass
Maybe he will stay on the bare dusty ground
Whichever way he will keep hoping on
As overstaying his welcome will only bring harm
