The Drama Of The Night
VO sound was heard in the sleeping house Save the quiet tick of a busy clock, And a tiny squeak from a frieghtened mouse, As Tabby crept in the window. “Aha,” thought he, with the faintest purr, “Little Johnny’s bed is soft and warm, And nurse is asleep: I’ve outwitted her.” So Tabby crept in the window. No sound was heard till the early morn. When the birds began their joyful song, As the sky grew snk with the flush of dawn, * And the sun crept in the window. Far, far away in a pleasant dream, Our Tabby was eating Irish stew, But nurse came in, with an angry scream, And Tabby flew out of the window. __Copied, Barney Goc®l Ohan.
