COMPLETING A CROSSWORD

DEDICATED TO CHERIE

He did it at home and did it on a train
Something which was both pleasure and pain 
Some men eat cake and will become fatter
For him it was about using his little grey matter

Out came his pen as he started once more
He knew he would be thinking hard for sure
Mistakes would be made that's the pain 
Cursed to himself as he thought once again

When he was certain that was the pleasure 
Happiness and sadness in equal measure 
Forty three minutes was his personal best 
Completing a crossword the ultimate test
