Question

In the poem my sheep in being sheepish, can the word batty be used for a person? What would it mean?

Answer 1

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

it can because  take this sentence for example:

"The batty old lady had made the mistake of incurring the wrath of the Riders of the Apocalypse, and she paid for that within the second."

makes sense right?

or take this one:" Faint, hard-to-read indicators and an obtuse, non-intuitive interface drove me batty trying to move from one screen to the next." or this:

"The girl looked at the window of the Drexler place, and shied off as the old, batty pair of eyes came down upon her."

Hope it helps!
