‘What is it like to be a bat? ’ <br />Sprigge asked the question first; <br />then Thomas Nagel took it up <br />with philosophic thirst; <br /> <br />What is it like to be a bat? <br />Who knows? Bats aren't so chatty… <br />but if you asked a bat, I guess <br />he’d say, ‘Well.. kinda batty..’ <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />(Written to mark the impending publication of the great man's essays, 'Secular Philosophy and the Religious Temperament')<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/who-s-first-to-bat/
