I'M Puzzled
Cryptic puzzles puzzle me
I study them with intensity
Pen poised in anticipation
It may be poised for the duration
Wishing I had the knowledge to use
So I could fathom out the clues
I've left learning far too late
But no-ones too old to educate
I think that I am putting great strain
On my poor uneducated brain
Pen unpoised and ready to flow
I'll give this puzzle one more go
Wow! I've answered one or two
I must try another few
I am having lots of fun
I must try another one
I have laid aside my book
Cryptic crosswords have me hooked
