With all the talk of pussy this week, and our pleasure at watching political reporters squirm to avoid saying the word, we thought we’d “grab” our favorite erotic poet for her views…

– The Editors

I PREFER PUSSY (a little city-kitty ditty)
I prefer pussy, as in cat
as in willow
as in chases a rat
as in raised on a pillow.
I prefer pussy, as in riot
as in foots
as in pussycat doll
as in puss-in-boots.
I prefer pussy, as a twat
it is not, nor
is it a beaver,
a clam or a cleaver.
I prefer pussy to
nookie or gash,
it isn’t a box,
or a cave or a slash.
I prefer pussy, ‘though
rosebud’s not bad,
and muffin sounds homey,
and cooch makes me glad.
I prefer pussy to snapper
or snatch, far better
than taco or
slit or man-catch.
I prefer pussy, as in whip
as in flower,
as into it you slip –
as in I have the power.
