A THIRD PLACE WINNER IN A POETRY CONTEST! Why I chose this topic, I'm not sure. . .

Cricket on your shoulder
Wiser and much bolder
More than you can ever feel.
Hear what he has to say.
"To school and not the play."
Do not turn upon your heel.
Listen to him, you should
Since your head is of wood.
And decide if you're for real.
