DID you know
that
Davy Crockett,
once owned
a pet cricket
named,
Davy Crickett?
***
Parenthetically, it’s OK if you didn’t know. Not many people do.
***
Maybe, if
the cricket
had stayed on
to fight
at the Alamo,
we would
know more
about him.
***
But as it is,
Davy Crickett,
turned his tail
and
skedaddled.

Fascinating. I’d never made the connection between this forgotten history and the little known Alamo Cricket Team opening batsman, Dave Eke Ritic.

The romantic in me likes to believe I would have stayed and fought, but I doubt I would have let myself get into that predicament in the first place.

If not for the sound they produce, I would not give a pin for them, but as it is, they make a very beautiful sound, so, they are all right in my book. Thanks, mm

And then there’s the crackpot who claimed that Davy Crap-Pot owned a cricket named Davy Crockpot, but I don’t put much stock in it.

I think we’ve learned all we need to know from Mr. Cricket. Maybe it wasn’t brave to run, but it was right not to fight! (Since we were stealing Texas from Mexico) :)
