The Acrostic
Spent a couple hours
On a puzzle from The Times,
An activity I almost like
As much as making rhymes.
I do the crossword daily,
Since it’s there in each edition
And work on it until my solving’s
Come to its fruition.
Yet on Sunday, in the magazine,
Some other puzzles wait,
Where varied types on different weeks,
In print, will alternate.
I tackled the acrostic,
Which is challenging and cool.
I usually finish
With a few tries, as a rule.
But today I was determined
And kept at it ‘til I finished.
Supposedly, this will not let
My brain cells be diminished.
