On one cold moonlit Saturday night
while resting in the glow of the firelight
when suddenly without warning we all
heard a tap tap tapping on the kitchen wall
mother said to us now how strange is that
could it be a mouse or perhaps a rat
you know what these old places are like
when lots of things seem to go bump in the night

Or it could have been a trapped bat!
