Genius

One day I'm a genius; The next I'm dumb as dirt. If you are in agreement, well, My feelings won't be hurt. The scope of my intelligence And which way I will skew Has nothing whatsoever To connect with my IQ. The reason's rather simple, For I filled in every square Of Friday's crossword puzzle - Bam! The answers were right there. But today's a different story As the empty boxes mock; And nothing's in my brain except The ticking of the clock. At least again tomorrow, In the Sunday puzzle's sprawl, I will have the chance to prove I am a genius after all.

Sunday is a tough one, New York's beyond me. I look at all those crazy clues and can't begin to see. I like the simpler small town one where I don't feel so dumb. Big city rags just hurt my brain and leave me feeling numb. Enjoyed! Peace.:)
