Here is the accompanying verse by Brian Sibley:
‘A Cloud of Bats’
A colony of bats is a ‘bunch’ or a ‘batch’, 
Lurking deep in a cave’s dark recess; 
But the naming of bats has a singular catch 
Which, with thought, is quite easy to guess: 
For, quitting their haunts, as night-time falls, 
They swoop and droop like a graveyard shroud, 
Squeaking their shrill, multi-decibel calls,
And simply describing themselves as ‘a cloud’.
