Bats

When it isn't  asleep it will be
Upside down from the branch of a tree
By it's instinct it knows
To keep eyes and mouth closed
Every time it needs to have a pee.

Sure made me laugh - oh where the Viv mind goes. I hadn't thought of the possible dilemma bats have hanging upside down and I just love it that you did ... CayCay

Thanks, Paul, I suppose Sloths and bats must be the smelliest creatures on the planet. Regards, Viv
