And progged it as I passed and went away;
And when I looked I fancied something stirred,
And turned again and hoped to catch the bird â??

The Old Gumbie Cat
I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots;
Her coat is of the tabby kind, with tiger stripes and leopard spots.
All day she sits upon the stair or on the steps or on the mat;
She sits and sits and sits and sits-and that's what makes a Gumbie Cat!

And watched her wriggle onto her side, pawing the air,

The color of a trumpet's blare is red;
And Joseph Emmett thinks the crimson shame
On woman's cheek a trumpet-note of fame.

For it was snowy white-almost.
