Christopher Cricket
Had gotten a ticket
To ride on the
Hot air balloon

A visit to London
To stay with his cousin
Had ended
Far too soon

Crickets are lucky
And never are stuffy
Always are faithful
And true

Having a cricket
Is just the right ticket
To bring joy forever
To you

Chris Cricket did visit
And said to me, Sir
I think I will settle
Right here

Your lady has travelled
So far to be with you
And home now is ever
So dear

I’ll bring you good fortune
And mountains of pleasure
To share every day
Every year

And so I’ll reside
On the table beside
The pillow where her head
Does lay

Her beauty apparent
You’ll never be errant
Your love shared will carry
The day

Chris Cricket I thank you
Our love so enormous
You’ve already brought me
Good luck

As destiny told us
Forever enfolds us
In love’s golden blanket
We share

Christopher Cricket
Is happy to stick it
Where love is the word of
The day

Forever together
Is more than a measure
And now Chris is here
To Stay
