The Bat Cave

  There is a cave, where evening brings   The sound of wildly beating wings   And bats emerge, in clouds, to fly   Like drifts of smoke against the sky.   The insect world had best beware,   Ten thousand bats are in the air!   All night they swoop and sometimes squeak,   But when the sun begins to peek   Above the far horizon, they,   All hurry back, to spend the day,   Asleep and wrapped in capes of brown,   In clustered closeness, upside-down.
