Stately Clues (Limerick)

Friday, September 4th, 2026

I have noticed that folks at the helm
Of the NYT “Daily Games” realm
Will include (at least lately)
In clues the word “stately” . . .
For the tiny (3-letter) great “ELM.”

Yet Another “Connections” Limerick

Monday, September 18th, 2023

There are times I feel smart as a whip,
Even savvy, and “with it,” and hip.
But for THAT I must score
A “Connections” game “four.”
Doing worse means I’m losing my grip.

Connecting With “Connections.” (Limerick)

Wednesday, July 19th, 2023

The New York Times has given me yet another addiction: Attempting to solve “Connections” every midnight:

I am hooked on a puzzling new game
Called Connections; the Times is to blame.
“Create four groups of four”
Is the goal. Simple chore?
No, I often flame out, to my shame.
