G is for Grasshopper

once again posting from my iPad.  I should be at my computer tomorrow, then I'll put the pictures with the poems, for now I'll just do what I did yesterday.  the drawing is not finished; I've had a ton of homework today.  (well that and my 2 kids were hanging out with me all day, which I love, but sure makes it hard to draw!)

here is the poem; could not find author.  I thought it was pretty cute, it deserves more illustration than the lone grasshopper I drew.
                           

GRASSHOPPER GREEN

Grasshopper Green is a comical chap;  He lives on the best of fare. Bright little trousers, jacket and cap,  These are his summer wear. Out in the meadow he loves to go,  Playing away in the sun; Its hopperty, skipperty, high and low— Summer's the time for fun. Grasshopper Green has a dozen wee boys,  And soon as their legs grow strong  Each of them joins in his frolicsome joys,  Singing his merry song. Under the hedge in a happy row  Soon as the day has begun Its hopperty, skipperty, high and low— Summer's the time for fun. Grasshopper Green has a quaint little house.  It's under the hedge so gay.  Grandmother Spider, as still as a mouse,  Watches him over the way. Gladly he 's calling the children, I know,  Out in the beautiful sun; It's hopperty, skipperty, high and low— Summer's the time for fun. ~Alicia ps- it is a pain to post from iPad  pps- below is a sketch I did today, needed a break from bugs and homework :)
