Ooooo ... this reminds of a poem that drove me nuts as a child, but that I loved ... The Duel by Eugene Field ...
"The gingham dog and the calico cat
Side by side on the table sat"
It is a rather violent tale, and at the end there is nothing left of the two and it is said that they ate each other up. I spent hours and hours trying to figure out if was really possible for them to eat each other without leaving a trace. I imagined them meeting mid-air, with mouths wide open and vanishing as they ate each other. I just loved the idea that nothing was left ... it was the sort of magic that probably lead me to enjoy science fiction as an adult.

Oh my, I remember my mother reading Eugene Field poems to me as a child. Don't remember this tale, BUT the Calico dog is now at home with moi! Thanks for this cutie since I no longer have my real dog, it's nice to have a paper one. Such a cute face. Thanks, it arrived today.
