Lets Go See the Bats

Hey! Let’s go see the bats!
At first I am thinking baseball bats.
But this is late evening, so the black ones come into my head.
What bats?  Why would I want to?
My brother says ‘It is amazing! They come out all at once.
Where?
Carlsbad Cavern. Come on!
How many bats come out? I ask.
Five thousand a minute is what the old timer said.
I yell “hell no!”
and I mean it.
