High-Flogne Verse

When slapping your face with cologne
That flapping means you're not alogne.
Get ready for biting
Since each bat alighting
Is lapping your blood as you grogne.

Donald B. Benson

Bat Essence

The flittermouse scents the night air!
If you're skittish, or gentle, beware!
That whiff that you're soaked in
You'll get sniffed out and croaked in
If you're bit in this dental affair.

David Cairns
