“Yoohoo,
Mr Puss! Yoohoo, Mr Puss”!
I hear a distant
child's cry “Yoohoo,
little child”!
I want to call back! “Kitty
is over here”!
Yet these words are stuck in my
throat.
No matter how hard I
try to make heard this silent utterance.
I am struck dumb!
For I am dreaming the
child’s cries, as I slumber!
