PUZZLING

 

How should I begin to describe you?

Well, you are 13 down,

Without exception, and always 2 across

But you have never been 1 down

And sadly not once 19 across

You are four letters

Starting with a S and ending with a Y

You are coffee time and an acrostic too

As well as being cryptic

Let’s try 11 down followed by three across

Which is what might describe you

But I have never known you to be 7 down

A dictionary won’t help me, nor a thesaurus

You are Mind-bendingly vexatious, unfathomable

Inscrutable and infuriating enigmatic

And like most women I have known

You are an unsolvable puzzle to me
