A friend challenged me to rewrite
Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat from Alice in Wonderland as a double
dactyl.
So I did. Here it is.
Winkily twinkily
Soprano pipistrelle*
Up in the sky so high
What are you at?
Just like a tea-tray, you,
Microchiroptera,
Flitter and flutter by:
Such a fine bat.
* Initially I had "tiniest
pipistrelle: but that, it was pointed out, isn't a proper name.
Soprana pipistrelle, a species of bat, is.
