The Right Thinking Grasshopper

There once was a right thinking
grasshopper named Happy.
He live in a nice house
made of green leaves.
Younger than him
was his brother, Saddy.
He had lots of problems.
His mouth didn't work very well.
His body was very heavy.

Happy noticed his brother
was different.
He saw the kids
were not loving to his brother.
Other kids thought that he had
ingredients to kill
but the girls told him his brother
had ingredients for life.
Then they both were happy
because, you know,
ingredients have to be happy.

Right thinking bugs live longer.
