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.
