I suppose if one were really determined one could say that the line 'The Dish ran away with the Spoon' was personification (actual dishes and spoons cannot run) - but that is a very odd (and unhelpful) way to approach this folk nonsense rime.

The Cat and the Fiddle simply means a violin and its bow (the bow is strung with catgut, so 'a cat and a fiddle' just means the fiddle and its bow).

But one cannot really analyse such a poem - the whole point is that the poem makes no sense.
