At Halloween dinner a bat appeared
On the menu of a place call oh-dear
The bat wasn't clean
It looked tender and lean
So, it flew off shaking with fear
When driving the car
approaching a traffic light
it has often been seen
both day and night
what does green mean
here's the plan
for better or worse
drive as fast as you can
then red and amber
if you will
put the foot down
even faster still
and when it turns red
don't dare to dwell
or stop dead
but go like a bat out of hell
Early Summer Haiku Edited
ripening cherries
hanging on trees in daylight~
bats feasting at night;
at morning sunshine
wastage and garbage on ground~
harvest hopes shattered.
Modern warriors,
They fight for the home plate.
The bat and the ball,
is what decide their fate.
The people are pumped,
and they all yell and cheer.
In front of thousands,
the heroes with no fear.
Behind on the count,
but here comes the ringer.
Though it may look bad,
he will hit a zinger.
Under the lights and sound,
they come to witness.
The new king of the mound!
The Cat in a Hat
sat on a mat
(the mat was flat)
when
Pat a bat
who was fat
(a flying rat)
chasing a gnat
(the gnat went zzzat)
dropped in
(splat!)
for a chat
(what a brat)
but
(tit for tat)
was told to scat
imagine that!
(Moral of the story: Uninvited unwelcome)
In the dark of night
fireflies luminous light dots
Bat buffet delight
A Cat Gulping a Bat
Amazed I was to see my cat
Embracing in her mouth a bat
Thrice the size of a lark,
Gulping it in the dark:
At close sight it was a big rat.

A man with propellorized hat
Stepped up with his beanie to bat.
The fastball blew by,
Away he did fly,
He hadn’t accounted for that.
Do you recall where you were at
the day that Johnny raced the bat?
I was but a lad of eight.
A bat shot out of Hell, damned straight.
Johnny flew like an outbound freight.
A front row seat is where I sat
the day that Johnny raced the bat.
A bat cries differently,
eats fruits,
gliding, hanging insectivore,
Jackal-Kite, living mammal, nursing offspring, pup , quarrelsome, rodent species, terrible, umbrella vampire, winged xebec, yearn zoo .
Vampire bat looks for a tasty treat
Blood is the only thing he will eat
He bites pink flesh with his razor teeth
Lapping up warm blood that flows beneath
When I was in my personal cell, I heard a low ring tone from my cell,
Actually it was the weakness of the cell, The buzz made a vibration in my body's cell, It remembered my pet dog's bark,
when the storm had broken the tree's bark, The noise formed the flight of the bat, Finally I created the bark as a cricket bat.
Cricket Bat
My old cricket bat stores all the
divisions of
geological time.
RAT running in the yard :
CAT chased, getting too tired,
SAT to take rest at nook.
FAT cat winked with sly look.
OAT with hot milk, cat took.
BAT at nook watched the cook.
BUT cook chased the bat and
PUT on cat, nice garland.
OUT of house, heap of sand.
HUT of hay, also stands.
HOT tea -seller, stays there.
POT of clay to use here.
LOT of buyers appear.
LOL ! Perfect tea - dealer.
