“The Place to Be”
By Riley Brockman 

A bat needs a place to live 
For every day and night to hang 
So put a bat house in a 
Batty place

Where there is wild water
And plenty to eat 
Build it in a 
Batty place 

Put it no in a predator place
So go and find a perfect place
Find a 
Batty Place 

Now you know where 
So go out and find a 
Batty Place

 “I am in my second semester at Nicolet. I am working towards the radiography program and will hopefully get accepted in January of 2018.”
