If you know where the owls go at day
You will know where the bats go at night
Like big shrews with wings
They hang upside down
Eyes like chandeliers piercing the darkness
Wings like umbrellas fold and open at will
And Canines like snake fangs smile
When they hiss at you.
Hiding from the sun like owls
They yawn, nap and yap
Eat and ****, Milk their pup
As they roost for dusk to come.
The mangoes bear their bites
And they feed on insects too.
To the mountains or the caves,
their ears aid their flight
To feed and mate and make their swift return.
