The Tiny Bat

A small bat was flying in my house
    circling over the bed.
With a pole and a boxing glove
    I struck it to the floor.
Rabies shots we would get
    while the docs cracked open it's head.

Robert, bats are lacking here in Hawaii, but I also said that of gators till somebody illegally forced it into our delicate ecosystem. A nerve-wracking situation you've experienced, nonetheless. Nicely done my friend, Aloha!
