    Crossword Puzzle(d)

    This is a crazy poem I wrote late last year when I was in a wacky mood.
    Just wanted to throw this out there for some general input.



    Crossword Puzzle(d)


    Satisfy
    Four squares ACROSS:

    Simple answer or torturous enigma?
    Puzzles can be candy for the brain.
    Or a thorn.

    This puzzle shall entertain me!
    Write black lines on white paper;
    black and white answers.

    Eraser: ally of guessers everywhere.

    Quite Obvious
    Five squares DOWN:

    Only the mentally strong will
    venture their time, their
    energy, their intellectual
    resources to sate the needs of
    these letter-starved squares. Obviously!

    With unyielding fortitude,
    I shall use a pen - not pencil -
    and confidently vanquish my grid-like enemy.
    The overt words at first of course!

    And when the clue
    for an eleven-letter word for freedom arises -
    Mr. Thesaurus here at my side
    gives me deliverance.

    Oh yes!!

    I always, well mostly always, do a crossword puzzle a day and NEVER use a pencil! Pen to paper is my motto. Nothing mamby-pamby for a real he-man like me!

    Ah yes, it's good to see there's others like me out there who boldly tear into a puzzle with a pen lol.

    Of course, I usually have at least one of section of the puzzle that ends up unreadable due to trying to correct my mistakes ha ha.
