It's not a poem. Honestly. It is some lines from a play called As You Like It. It doesn't become a poem because some anthologist has hacked it out of the play and stuck it in a book of poetry.
"Mewling" is the sound a cat makes. Apparently babies make it as well.
"Whistles" might also be considered to be an onomatopoeia.
"Shrunk shank" is the best.

The speech called "The Seven Ages of Man" is from a play by William Shakespeare called As You Like It. That play contains more songs than any other Shakespeare play. That is to say, William Shakespeare wrote the lyrics to the following songs to be performed in the play: "Under the Greenwood Tree", "It Was a Lover and his Lass", "Blow, Blow thou Winter Wind", "What shall he have that killed the deer?" and "Wedding is great Juno's crown". The music written by Thomas Morley to sing "It Was a Lover and his Lass" in Shakespeare's lifetime still exists and it is a great song. One of the verses of "Under the Greenwood Tree" is sung by Jaques, the same character who delivers the "Seven Ages" speech., so that is probably the song most closely related to the speech. If Morley wrote music to that one we no longer have it, but the setting by the Barenaked Ladies in 2005 is superb. (Check YouTube to hear it)
