Quatrain of Bulldog Bat - 1451

Quatrain of Bulldog Bat

Bulldog Bat - a bat that forages low
over water and looks like a bulldog

Behold! Thy bulldog bat flying low
over still waters in search
of irrational
sin,

With the speed of a spirit and the
mouth a demon it will snatch
your next of
kin.

It devours the soul as if it were
a fast food meal and laughs
all the way to the
bank,

It comes out at night like a ghost
of the past and forces you
to walk the Devil's
plank.
