Two Bats, One Cave
Love And Misunderstanding

We first met at a dinner for four
Then decided we wanted much more
When we had our first date
We decided, it’s fate
Our relationship started to soar
And so this is the story I tell
You see, I was a “bat-out-of-hell”
Tho our union was odd
We were peas in a pod
And yet both of us managed to gel
I was riff, where the Mrs. was raff
She’s become what is my better half
Although we dress snooty
We’re more Tootie Frootie
We’re both batty and love a good laugh
While it’s true we’re “As blind as a bat”
And described as a night flying rat
In the fables that spread
There were lies being said
Like, we’re vampires and things such as that
Tho our vision’s a little bit blurred
It’s not true we’re the “Dracula bird”
We don’t like human blood
Since the taste is like crud
Don’t believe all the rumors you’ve heard
So we choose to stay home and behave
Spend our days hanging out in our cave
Despite all the stories
Forget all your worries
It’s the regal life both of us crave

I’ve been writing poetry (rhyming mostly) since about 2014 and have recently transitioned to writing novels and short stories. My poetry genres are faith, humor, social issues, politics, pretty much any subject matter.
