Blind Date (little bat's poem)


I was born with two lazy eyes
So I can't see very well
But ev'rything talks back to me
and tells me where not to go
I love to fish
But when I'm done catching
          all those bait-bugs
I'm so tired I always end up
          eating the bugs
          rather than go fishing
I live with my mom and she's great
But she's always afraid to let me go out
It's her own fault actually
I'm in fact an excellent driver
But she always makes me take a nap after dinner
And all that blood going to my brain
          kinda makes me drowsy
That's why I drive so awkwardly
Besides all this I'm the perfect kid
I don't curse, don't talk back
I'm always on time for dinner
And home before dawn
