Funny Bat Poems

The Bat by Theodore Roethke

By day the bat is cousin to the mouse.
He likes the attic of an aging house.

His fingers make a hat about his head.
His pulse beat is so slow we think him dead.

He loops in crazy figures half the night
Among the trees that face the corner light.

But when he brushes up against a screen,
We are afraid of what our eyes have seen:

For something is amiss or out of place
When mice with wings can wear a human face.

The Bat by Douglas Florian

The bat is batty as can be.
It sleeps all day in cave or tree,
And when the sun sets in the sky,
It rises from its rest to fly.
All night this mobile mammal mugs
A myriad of flying bugs.
And after its night out on the town,
The batty bat sleeps upside down.

Florian's lovley poems and paintings are perfect for reading
to kids at bedtime. Kids will love it...like me.

SNAKE PROBLEM - snake poems - poems about snakes

I have got a boa
Who's name is Annemarie

I found her, lying down
On a plain old prairie!

She is tame and very quiet
And doesn't even bite!
I think she'll need to go on diet,
For she's a tremendous sight!

Even though, she is so cool
She also has her bad sides
She sometimes is a bit of a fool
AND goes wild on rides


And one of the worst parts
(She might do it to you)
I swear it true I cross my heart
She squeezes you to glue!
