The Duel (poem)
"The Duel" is a poem by American humorist and children's writer Eugene Field.[1] It shares subject matter with the poem, a limerick in some versions and a seven-line extended limerick in others, "There Once Were Two Cats from Kilkenny."
Field claimed that the calico cat in the poem was inspired by the Ithaca Kitty.[2]
It inspired the 1993 album and its title track, The Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat, by Chet Atkins and Amy Grant.[3]
