[48]Bat! Bat!

Bat! Bat! Come un'er my hat,
An' I'll give you a slish o' bacon.
But don't bring none yō' ole bedbugs,
If you don't want to git fersaken.

FOOTNOTE
[48] A superstition that it is good luck to catch a bat in one's hat if
he doesn't get bedbugs by so doing.

[The end]
Thomas W. Talley's poem: Bat! Bat!
