hungry black cat, he calls for lunch
lunch is a fish on a white dish
he mutters and grumbles eating it
the black cat is full,he drinks some drops
then sleeps on the roof with ears alert
open air embraces the cat
the silent cat dreams, nobody sees
cat clock stops for a new release
the mice play a game downstairs
the black cat wakes up and looks around
he yawns for an hour in cats' time
the mice hide for a cat playing turn
the naughty cat plays an active game
till he calls for dinner in a noisy way
the roof waits in vain; full, he sleeps under a chair
