Poem
The picnic was set for today: A cause for two hips and hooray. With Split and Blueberry, Their time would be merry That’s if nothing got in their way… The deviled eggs had to come first, ‘Cause a picnic without them’s the worst. They proceeded to beg The hens for some eggs, And boiled them when they were submersed. But when Bat and Gat started to pack, Their picnic plans went off the tracks. It was almost Bat’s fault, Since the pepper and salt Hadn’t made it yet into the sack. The only thing they had to do Was to pick up their friends Split and Blue. With a rabbit and goat, And their deviled egg tote, They could hike to the overlook view. Well, the eggs made a pretty nice spread When added to Split’s honey bread. But, sitting down eating, An unwelcome greeting Then filled them with terror and dread. ’Twas the sound of a huge rattlesnake; What a racket that rattle did make! Though none could find him Out front or behind them, Poor Blue and Split started to shake. Then Gat sprung away like the breeze, And spied him from up in the trees. She pointed to Bat Where the rattler was at, And told everyone else to freeze. Yikes, the snake tried to strike at his knees; Bat evaded his strike with great ease. Quick did a side-stepper, And doused him with pepper, And the rattlesnake started to sneeze! Well, that was the end of the battle; They all could now safely skedaddle. The pepper, in fact Brought such an attack That his sneezes set off his rattle! They all walked home in the sun, And all had turned out to be fun. An eggcellent day! Yes, hip, hip hooray! Bat and Gat, hero cats, number one!
