The Ass and the Grasshoppers

GRASSHOPPER was singing, so beautiful and sweet.

ASS was enchanted, the singer did entreat

Pray tell me the secret, your singing so elite

Tis the dew, dear lovely, dew’s all you should eat

So with only dew to drink, happiness was complete

And in a short time died of hunger, stupid ASS

GRASSHOPPER was singing, so beautiful and sweet.

ASS was enchanted, the singers he’d entreat

Pray tell me the secret of your singing so elite

Tis the dew, dear fellow, dew’s all you should eat

So only dew he did drink, his happiness complete

And he died in a short time, stupid ASS
