AN INCONVENIENCE by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: TO HIS COUSIN THE BAT
Last Line: "BUT NOTHING TO SIT ON HAVE I."
Subject(s): ANIMALS; BATS; RATS;

To his cousin the Bat
Squeaked the envious Rat,
"How fine to be able to fly!"
Tittered she, "Leather wings
Are convenient things;
But nothing @3to sit on@1 have I."
