I don't fall asleep. I have to reach out to grasp it and I seldom do. It's elusive to get there. Once asleep it is hard for me to give it up. I'm something of a night owl although the only thing to fly through my window and bite me was a bat. Perhaps I'm a nightbat.
My mind insisted on adding a "k" to nightbat, and also provided a mental image of a tiny round table upside down in a tree, and of course, little furry upside down creatures in tiny suits of armor.
ReplyDeleteI will have you know that a little bat flew in my opened window and landed on my knee. I took him in my left hand to toss back out the window when he bit me on my thumb.
ReplyDeleteI took myself to the VA immediately and got globulin shots in every part not covered with fingernail. Lot's of shots....with needles.
It wasn't until years later that I knew that those shots cost $10,000 each. I think I paid $45 bucks.
I'll go with some kind of bat (you were asking for that one)
ReplyDeleteWhen I met you, you had a baseball bat in your doorway. OK, and a sword. Bats seem natural and organic.
DeleteYou are so lucky.
