National Poetry Month Poem #10: Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, part 5: The Song of the Jellicles

<p>Here's a fun fact for everyone: T.S. Eliot had a cat of his own that the family always called a Dear Little Cat. His daughter had a little bit of a speech impediment, so when she tried to say "Dear Little Cat," it came out as "Jeel licle cat," or, "Jellicle Cat," as we know it today.</p> <p>So, that's where the word "Jellicle" comes from. You're welcome.</p>
