Bill the Bat loved Halloween.
It was the funniest thing
that he had ever seen.

The kids dressed up like
ghouls and ghosts.
The boy called Nixon
scared him the most.

Bill spent the night,
just flying around.
To get a good look,
he had to swoop down.

The kids would all scream
and scatter away.
“A bat, a bat!”
he heard them all say.

Someone started a rumor
some years ago,
let me think, let me think,
now how did it go?

A bat could swoop down
and get caught in your hair.
In your hair he would nest
and his kids would live there.

It is the silliest story.
A bat would much rather be
asleep in someone’s attic
or in a cave by the sea.

But whatever the reasons,
the kids like to run and
at this time of year,
to Bill this was fun.

He set himself down
on the branch of a tree,
to rest for a second
and what did he see?
