Bats are creepy. Bats are scary
Bats do not seem sanitary

Bats in dismal caves keep cozy
Bats remind us of Lugosi

Bats of darkness unafraid are
Bats are careful. Bats use radar

Bats at nighttime at their best are
Bats by Batman unimpressed are

These are local bats, they are veracious insect eaters, all you need do is build a sturdy box for them, hang on the North side of your home or barn, and they will do the rest.

The California leaf-nosed bat (Macrotus californicus) is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is found in Mexico and the United States. Its natural habitat is hot deserts.

P.S. If you have invasive bark beetles, this is the natural fix. We no longer see any bark beetles in our trees.

So we’ve got microbats and megabats but no mesobats.

That’s what I like about bats - they’re never middle-of-the-road.

I should have mentioned that this poem is an old one from Mad magazine, written by Frank Jacobs.

We should have millibats, centibats, decibats, decabats, hectobats and kilobats. I don’t know where mesobats fit in.
