Puzzles
They say puzzles are good for your brain,
So to bolster those cells that remain
I do crosswords each day
And on weekends, I may
Do acrostics or more in that vein.
All my challenges center, you’ll note,
Not on numbers, which might get my goat,
But on clues filled with words
Which, like grandkids and birds,
Are among those on whom I do dote.
It makes sense, since I really delight
In the words that I read and I write,
So if I can involve,
In each puzzle I solve,
All my brain cells, dementia won’t bite.
