Poem Artwork


Too, Two, Puzzled
 
Nothing like a good crossword puzzle.
Nothing is  more educational.
Bet you forgot roue and the bustle.
I tell you, the benefits are sensational.
 
I now know that olio means mishmash
And area isn’t spelled aria.
An entree can be corned beef hash
and tenor Lanza’s first name was Maria.
 
Mari-o--?   Tell ya when I’m finished.
Do you know a 4-letter word for blackbird?
Are you at all familiar with Finnish?
What in tarnation is a swackleswerd?
 
Misprint, that.  Better check in the back.
Isn’t cheating if you spot an error.
Blackbird is a-n-i.   I knew that.
Now I need a synonym for barrier.
 
Not sure when I’ll use these words.
Maybe at a party or a bat mitzvah.
That is a bar mitzvah for girls.
Maybe I’ll find a rhyme for mitzvah.
 
Think I’m educated enough. Assez
is the French – gotcha-!
Eraser’s busted and pencils are passe.
Adios, arrivederci, vaarwel. . .ta-ta???

My mother did crossword puzzles every night that I can remember. You could ask her just about any thing. This is very well done, Pea, and quite enjoyable to read.

(((Pea))),

Ask Karen: I drive her nutz doing crossword puzzles. She says it's because (quote: "Because you're so smart and it shows how stupid I am." Unquote). If I'm so smart, then, why do I always ask her what 25 down is or something about an actor or actress AND SHE KNOWS THE ANSWER???????????? Don't know HOW many times I've scribbled through, because I got STUCK....perfectionist, that's me, drives me CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Too, Two Puzzled: that's me. But I got every word of this puzzle YAY I win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done, yet again--you DO have a way of penning your heart into mine. :) Thank you, sweetie!
