The Cotton-Cat

Once my friend
A home cat,
Very fluffy-
Cotton was her
Name-,
Went on journey
To the Dormie
Land.

Blind here
And sighted there
Cotton is,
She now met
The dormant pets.

Birdies, dogs,
Fish and mice
Behaved so nice
That Cotton purred
To everyone occurred.

A Devil then
Came out himself
Of Nowhere Land:
The hostile area
In the delve.

Growled
Bow-wowed
All the dogs,
And peeped
The birds,
Mice and fish
Frightened vice;
They all wished
Awaken fast.

The Cotton-Cat
Wanted friends
To make.
And the Devil
Seemed fluffy as well,
I should say.

Cotton purred
And the Devil,
Very pleased,
His paw to shake
High increased.

Cotton saw
The Devil change:
And now he looked
Just the same.

-Who are you?
-Well, I'm you.
Can that be
In a sleep?
Can it be
That Cotton
Will never
Track the way
Out of dream,
And the Devil
Get back
Instead?..

My cat is still
Asleep.
Though Cotton
Or Devil is she?
