Chopping down trees shouldn’t leave you satisfied!
Or all the koalas will leave your side!
The singing crickets will be no more!
Life will simply close your door.

This post was scheduled for Wednesday 21st October, however we are currently having problems behind the scenes with the ACP website. Please accept our apologies.
Green faces shining under the bright moon light,
Mr Chirrup’s choir took their place; antennae and tails sitting just right.
With one final check of his red bow tie,
Mr Chirrup picked up his baton and unleashed the choir to the night sky.
Tenor, baritone and bass harmonising together as one,
The tree branch they were standing on vibrating noisily enjoying the fun.
Distant stars twinkling brightly celebrating the sound,
For Mr Chirrup’s choir was star-ward bound!
If you listen quietly and hear crickets chirping this summer season,
More than likely, Mr Chirrup’s choir might be the reason!

How many tunes do we know
and how many songs can we sing?
Hearing those high notes and low
is making my heartstrings ring.
Our crickets sing faster or slow
with temperature ruling their timing.
Rubbing their wings like a bow
on some scratchy violin.
How many tunes do they know
and how many songs can they sing?
Their music will only flow
if it’s warm, beginning in spring.
Who are they chirruping to?
It’s strictly a lady’s thing.
Our cricket choir sings to woo
their girls with their carolling.
