The baby bat
Screamed out in fright,
'Turn on the dark,
I'm afraid of the light.'

I love this poem. Silverstein has a way of compressing a world of meaning into a 'cute' little story about a bat.

Indeed, in its fright, it had probably mistaken light for dark..........well expressed in conflict..........thanks for sharing
