Bats In the Belfry
The bats in the belfry were taking a selfie
Their costumes were super, for daddy was wealthy
But children sized bats made the pastor unhealthy
And yet his departure was still rather stealthy
The fancy dress shop man has now got a shelf free
He had three bat costumes but doubted he’d sell three
’til someone walked in and said, Sir can you tell me
If these are kid’s sizes? He said they might well be
The man said please wrap them and when they’re done, bell me
And have you got any fake blood you can sell me
The loan of a very long ladder would help me
And that’s why there’s three quite large bats in the belfry
