By day the bat is cousin to the mouse


By day the bat is cousin to the mouse

He likes the attic of an ageing house

His fingers make a hat about is head

He loops in crazy figures half the night

But When he brushes up against a screen

We are afraid of what our eyes have seen:

For something is amiss or out of place

When mice with wings can wear a human face
