A BLOOD MEAL ???

by Norby Bautista

A Bat returned to his cave

A vampire, strong, black and brave

Hangs to the roof, for a night's rest

To sleep well, for tomorrow's best.

He was dirty, wet with blood

His friends smelled him, foul as mud

They asked him:"Where did you feed?"

All frenzied... excited by his deed.

"Oh leave me alone!" He said;

"My body aches, from foot to head."

But they all kept on asking.

The whole bat gang, now waking.

"Alright!!! You all follow me!"

After this, night sleep, give me.

He detaches from the cave

Flew out, with the strenght he saved.

The whole bat swarm followed him

Like thousands of fish that can swim.

Darkening the sky, like smoke;

Each bat lethal and no joke.

Straight out into the darkness

Zigzaging in the wilderness

Across the mountain and valley

And stopped in a rocky alley.

"See that big sequoia tree?"

All eager for a meal, that's free.

They said: "Yes!!!" (All salivating...)

"Well, I DID NOT! I crashed on that TREE!!!"
