There once was a grasshopper, who lived in 

a jar,

He seemed to be stuck, he could not jump 

very far,

Longing to float, flutter, and glide through 

the grass,

It seemed like a long shot, as he stared 

through the glass,

He wished for a miracle, for something to 

change,

He felt like his jar, was more of a cage.

Time goes by, and the days get slow,

Mr. Grasshopper doesn't have a lot of room 

to grow,

He feels kind of sad, and he's giving up 

hope,

Just then, a great flash, a loud snap, and a 

glow,

Left standing so tall after the bright white 

light,

Is what looks like a horse, with a horn, fit 

for a knight

"Hi, my name is Charlie," Mr. Unicorn says,

"My name is Fred," Mr.Grasshopper said,"

"Well hello there Fred, you seem to be 

stuck,"

"You got that right, i've just had no luck,"

"Maybe you can help, if you've got the 

time"

"Of course I will help get you out of this 

bind,"

"Let me just think, I'll come up with a 

plan,"

"Thank you so much, i've been in such a 

jam"

"Maybe, just maybe, if we try really hard,

we could tip it right over, and you'd be 

freed from the jar,

He tilted his head, and bumped into the 

table,

But the jar was too heavy, it just stood 

there, so stable,

"Oh i just think it's too hard, I'll be in here 

forever,

"Don't worry Fred, I'll think of something 

clever"

Charlie thought of ideas, and wondered out 

loud,

"I bet I can break it, with the horn, by my 

mouth,"

He aimed for the jar, and picked out a 

mark,

He lowered his horn, and got a head start,

He ran into the jar, but it did not break 

apart,

It seems as though Fred, had a broken 

heart

"Never, oh never, will I know what it's like,

to climb a great mountain, or see stars at 

night,"

"Or dance in the wind, or sink in the snow,

or play in the grass, after it has been 

mowed,"
