You are 13 down
And always 2 across
You are never 1 down
And sadly not 19
across
You are six letters
Starting with a T
You are coffee time
And an acrostic too
As well as cryptic
Let’s try 11 down
Followed by three across
Which is what the
canines do
You to be 7 down
I have never known
A dictionary won’t
help me
Nor a thesaurus
For like most women
You are an unsolved puzzle
“Seven down, “Fizzy Drink” eight letters”
I said to my fellow
traveller’s arrayed
They looked at me
blankly, then one said
“If it was seven up,
it would be lemonade”
“Postman loses sack”
The crossword-er said
How many letters?
A listener wondered
The former replied
About 500
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
Do you know who invented the crossword?
I can't remember his
name for the life of me
It’s on the tip of my
tongue just out of reach
It’s W something N
something E
