Moth Wings

Moth wings come by ...
Batting at the window screen,
To get in, they try and try
Where the light is seen

Afraid of the dark, are you?
Still, I cannot let you near,
No matter what you do
It is things like you I fear

Not that you can hurt me
Like a hornet when she stings,
I just do not want to be ...
Batted by soft, moth wings.
