Sing, Sing a Song

Last week, crickets decided to invade visit my office.
I kept finding them crawling across my floor. 
Good thing I'm not afraid of crickets. 

At one point, one started to "chirp" and when I turned around, I spotted him sitting on top of a poster board that I have in my office.
As if on cue, he really started to sing...loudly!
I'm pretty sure he was serenading me!
And his song was good enough to attract another cricket too!

After I took the video, the words to an old Carpenters song popped into my head.
And I proceeded to hum it for the rest of the afternoon.



Sing, sing a song 
Sing out loud 
Sing out strong 
Sing of good things not bad 
Sing of happy not sad 

(*) Sing, sing a song 
Make it simple to last 
Your whole life long 
Don't worry that it's not 
Good enough for anyone 
Else to hear 
Just sing, sing a song 

La la la la la 
La la la la la la... 


So...Sing, sing a song and don't worry if it's not good enough for anyone else to hear,
Just sing, sing a song!

Those crickets are romancing.

Yes to the Carpenters. You know, I truly like the sound of crickets--outside... ;)
