Crickets in the Kitchen

There're crickets in your kitchen, probably

Who you'll only see at night

Late late, at maybe 2 or 3 

At first glance, they're large spiders

But they're not large spiders

They're crickets

Strong, quick, and scared

You likely won't hear them singing 

Not in the kitchen

It's rare in fact that you saw them at all

Now there's nothing wrong with crickets in the kitchen

(Aside from the fact that they're trapped) 

Though you'll think there is, even if you can't say why

You'll be uncomfortable with the crickets in the kitchen

Disturbed, somehow

But believe me, they're not thrilled either

You listen to their songs every night

You might say you're a pretty big fan

Were it not for their nightly sets, you'd be left with your own thoughts 

Dreary and dark

No, you appreciate their work

But not in your kitchen
