Pelican is Fresh Off the Appalachian Trail

In finding a cure for summer
The cricket finds a ride
Ends up in purse or soup

We all hope for purse
Except girl who likes to eat crickets

Even still
She prefers them cooked

And it would be just her luck
To find herself
In a Vietnamese restaurant

Where trail friends
Meet downtown characters
And talk about love

Hot soup is fine
Even in the summer heat
If you like lime

Sometimes sleeping alone
Is not punishment

But too much time
Inside the forest
Makes us question everything

Just ask Pelican
He's fresh off the trail
