I am terrified by the video, could barely figure out what the poem said. Just in time for Halloween too! Good job!

Bat diving is something I’d never want to see over my head. What did you have for dinner, Jan? Good write.

This is great, Jan! Love the last line. As a kid, I was told that we should cover our heads if we saw bats because they’d get stuck in our hair! Scared me to death…
