WHISPER!!!

Sit up in your beds and hark!

Something said “meow” in the dark!

Was it a gentleman saying some prayers?

Was it a mousie trapped under the stairs?

Was it a manager stealing some shares

Or a newspaper having a lark?

Sit up in your beds and hark!

Something said “meow” in the dark!

Would you your treasures securely keep,

Never turn lamps out and never go sleep.
