Puzzling
Puzzles will appeal to me
When words are what you need
To solve them; then, most likely,
I’ve a good chance to succeed.
A tough crossword or acrostic
Sets a challenge I enjoy,
For it taps into the brain cells
That I often do employ.
Yet once numbers are involved,
I’m simply clueless and so lost
That it isn’t worth the failure
And frustration it has cost.
Give me Shuffalos and Spelling Bees;
I’ll take that letter path
But don’t try to steer me to the route
Which travels using math.
