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.
