Figment of Fabrication

Figure it factual, the gingham dog and the calico cat did NOT eat each other up like the Dutch clock told the story. Because of loud snoring, Old Dutch clock had stuffed cotton in his ears; and the Chinese plate? sound asleep on a warm rock by the fire. What really happened? In the evening when the logs were first lit, the moon shone brightly through the windows with a strange orange glow. Out from the flaming wood crawled a cricket. Bewitched by the moon's light, he hypnotized both dog and cat, leading them into the sky. famed field of fantasy - Eugene Field's inspiration, The Duel my own Figment of Fabrication – an astro-abduction

I thank you, Chetta for the lovely response and the placement in your contest. My longer version is Calico, the Cat which is quite different. Have a fine day in the cauldrons of Poetry Soup.
