Excerpt from:

Little Bill the bat

He flew around all over town
trying to find his way back home.

Bill’s radar was down.
He came crashing to the ground.

He landed on Dave the duck.
In the mud, Dave’s feet were stuck,
as Gail the gander and Gill the goose
tried to pry Dave’s feet loose.

“Sorry, I just can’t stay,”
said Bill as he flew away.

He flew into Al the owl
who was sleeping in the old oak tree.

“Sorry,” said Bill the bat.
“Could you tell me just where I’m at?”

The owl said, “Who?”
The bat said, “You.
Could you help me find my way?”

The owl fell back to sleep
while standing on his feet.
Not knowing what else to say,
Bill then flew away.

Poor Bill didn’t see the house.
He awoke to find Mike the mouse.
