Additional quotes by Eugene Field

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.

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.

The best of all physicians
Is apple pie and cheese!

Oh, you who've been a-fishing will indorse me when I say That it always is the biggest fish you catch that gets away! - Eugene Field
