I stepped into a bat cave
Right outside of Timbuktu
And asked, “Please tell me, fellas,
Just what kind of bats are you?
If you’re simply harmless fruit bats
Then I should like to stay.
But if you’re vampire bats
Then I will quickly run away.”
The bats said, “We’re just fruit bats!”
I said, “Great! I’ll have a seat.”
But then I felt a hundred bites
Along my legs and feet!
“You lied!” I called out angrily
“How miserably unkind!”
The bats said, “Oh, you’re not a fruit?
Apologies. We’re blind.”
