Dark shapes flitter in the dusk sky <br />but they are mammals, so why do they fly <br />The little furry flitter mouse that makes you jump <br />that clings on to a branch in one solid lump <br />they hang upside down in attics, trees and caves <br />then at sundown they take to the sky, so take a look <br />at the way it behaves. Eating up to three thousand <br />insects in a single night, but how can this be because <br />they have such poor eye sight.They find their prey by <br />echolocation, finding unseen objects by means of reflected <br />sound waves through the whole of the bat nation. <br />They are your garden friend, so don't think of the vampire <br />when the bat gives you a fright; he is just feeding his face with <br />the aphids that come out at night<br /><br />sylvia spencer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-bats-tale/
