CAVE

By Ami Offenbacher-Ferris

I wish that I were a bat,

Not a care in the world

Save to sleep in a cave

Away from strife

Away from life

So cool and clean

High above the furthest ravine.

    Some people are scared of bats, I’m not entirely sure why!

    My thirty-four!

      I think a lot of the fear stems from the old Dracula movies!

    Our bat population is migratory (I think). I don’t know what we would do without them in the summer months. Nicely done, Gypsie.

    Someone I know works with bats. A wildlife rehabber. She’d agree with you, most days, I think. 🙂 (though, in truth, bats do not lead quite such a sheltered life …)

      Extremely social animals. Like catatonic cats that pretend they do not need anyone else or flying foxes that aren’t foxes at all but bats! It’s a wondrous world for sure.

        Yep. I rather like them, conceptually, as long as I don’t have to walk through their … um … refuse … No fan of guano, me. 😉

    I never thought about hanging out as a bat before. You make it sound like respite.
