Roll On Rubik

If the Rubik's Cube were round
    I would roll it on the ground
         and would surely have more fun
               as the colours wildly spun
                   than if I had spent all day
                          twisting each and every way
                               whilst attempting to align
                                    coloured squares in record time
                                          as frustration gatherered pace
                                                   and I finally lost face.
                                                       Guess I'm saying, all in all
                                                             I'd prefer to have a ball!

Very witty and just plain fun, Wendy! Let the good times roll! Love the formatting - it really does give a visual to the "rolling ball." Congratulations on your win!

Thank you, Jenna. This was probably light relief for Kai amongst the other incredibly sophistictaed and thought-provoking entries!

Much less profound and clever than your other entries but I'm glad that the simplicity and flow appealed, Kai. Thank you for the honour of a placement.

Thank you,Krish. I guess my non-numerical brain is the reason why I'd prefer a cryptic crossword anytime!

Thank you for the comment, Rico. A friend of my son's became a UK champion and was able to master the moves blindfolded!
