]]> <![CDATA[Copycat Kiddies Ruin the <i>Washington Post</i>'s Poetry Contest, Again]]> I have a confession to make.

I didn't write: O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!

Edward Lear did.

But I meant every word of it. That was one lovely pussy.
