Crosswords take the mind off
letting in a concentration in a laugh
where the focus is on solving
as the puzzle goes on prolonging
pushing one to resolve fast
have to possess patience to last
accomplishing the task on time
requires great skill and rhyme
which is not found in many
with only a few having any
love and desire to indulge
as the work needs a grudge
and grit to win over straight.
Life being a crossword
with happenings wayward
the competition being heavy
and the challenges in levy
few walk out with bowed head
while the rest camouflage instead
posing they have achieved great
but in truth they are below the rate.
