Find inspiration in the song or rhyme:

The Duel

(The Gingham Dog and The Calico Cat)

The gingham dog and the calico cat

Side by side on the table sat;
'T was half-past twelve, and (what do you think!)
Nor one nor t' other had slept a wink!
The old Dutch clock and the Chinese plate
Appeared to know as sure as fate
There was going to be a terrible spat.
(I wasn't there; I simply state
What was told to me by the Chinese plate!)

The gingham dog went "Bow-wow-wow!"
And the calico cat replied "Mee-ow!"
The air was littered, an hour or so,
With bits of gingham and calico,
While the old Dutch clock in the chimney-place
Up with its hands before its face,
For it always dreaded a family row!
(Now mind: I'm only telling you
What the old Dutch clock declares is true!)



I have done something I don't normally do and taken a coloured picture from Google.
Added We are 3 papers from Back to Basics, Muddy Paws and Rainbow Gingham papers
