Well done. Glad to know I’m not the only one who fell in love with the little guy.

I was moved to write a short ballad. It’s to the tune of the Phoebe (Friends) coffee house classic “stinky cat”.

Space Bat

Space Bat, space bat
where have they sent you?
Space Bat, space bat
Reach for the stars.

They won’t take you to the moon
when obviously there’s lot of room.
Maybe not so smart it seems —
But you’re a friend to those who dream.

Space Bat, space bat
Where have they sent you?
Space Bat, space bat
Reach for the stars.

“There was, needless to say, no sign of the bat when the Discovery docked at the International Space Station.” (original post)

As U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard would say, “If he’s dead, then where is the body?”

Answer: He’s not dead! He lives… as… Space Bat! watching over us all…

“Wherever mosquitos annoy humans, in a climate suited for my species, I’ll be there…”

Good by spacebat. Just this morning a fellow bat was paying his respects by clinging to the side of my office building.

Most likely space bat fell off the insulation after the shuttle reached a speed of only 100 miles per hour (while still below 5,000 ft.) and was swept by the slipstream into the engine exhaust and was cooked.

Quick fried to a crackly crunch.

I know it’s not quite as romantic, but it’s probably the truth.

No way did he make it to space.

Ok, I didn’t know what to expect when I hit play, but when that song started I just busted out laughing.

Snow Patrol’s song, “If There’s Rocket Tie Me To It”, woulda been a better song.
