Initials of Anglo-American poet going on about practical creatures (4)
I believe the answer is:
cats
'practical creatures' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'initials of anglo-american poet going on about' is the wordplay.
'initials of' says to take the initial letters.
'american poet going' becomes 'ts' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'about' becomes 'c' (abbreviation for circa).
The initial letter of 'anglo' is 'a'.
'a'+'ts'='ats'
'ats' after 'c' is 'CATS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cats that I've seen before include "Pets - musical" , "Siamese, Persian etc" , "Some 6 Downs" , "Carnivores - stage musical" , "Musical from TS Eliot" .)
