we have to go see him

he is known as the bat who juggles leaves
we have to go see him!
he will be in the courtyard at ten tonight!

I thought my friend was nuts.
Who wants to see a bat juggle leaves?
She would not let up.

She hounded me and hounded me.
I finally relented.

Yes, it was a bat.
And he juggled leaves.

Nothing else to say.
