'stomach time' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'henry's missing in prison' is the wordplay.
'henry's missing' becomes 'our' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'prison' becomes 'cage' (cage is a kind of prison).
'our' put into 'cage' is 'COURAGE'.

'when' acts as a link.
