The Bat

by Ogden Nash

Myself, I rather like the bat
It’s not a mouse, it’s not a rat
It has no feathers, yet it has wings
It’s quite inaudible when it sings.
It zigzags through the evening air
And never lands on ladies’ hair
A fact of which men spend their lives
Attempting to convince their wives.

Funny, Nash often is.
Petty, women sometimes are.
But a bat did almost land in
my hair once, well almost.
