There they sat,
Pens drawn like swords,
Prodding the paper between them.
Their swords sometimes crossed
As they saw a word,
Or a letter on the other side
Of the crossword they were doing.
Every day they are there,
Pens drawn,
Ready for battle,
The battle of the crossword.
Filling in the words
Until they had conquered the enemy,
The enemy of the crossword,
While enjoying their coffee and toast.

A fine write Gold. Ohh I can't get many of the cryptic type clues.
Thanks Orchi.

Thank you WL, I do crosswords sometimes. One man I knew was very good, on lunchtime he and one of his colleagues were talking about the answers to a Sunday paper crossword that they both used to do and I didn't understand the answers so goodness know what the clues were like.
This is a great one! It’s a fav
Thank you Laura, most kind.
