A pyrrhic gift (3)
A crossword book with a pen attached –
Now isn’t that thoughtful…there must be a catch…
Of course ! It’s a pen, not a pencil they proffer –
It’s starting to look like less of an offer.
We have to commit to the answers we choose
No try-this-for-nows or perhaps-that’ll-dos.
Just black squares and white squares,
Such tiny wee white squares,
And make one mistake and the whole grid will sink –
So pencil-pussies best beware,
This game is won by those who dare,
By those who leave their mark on life in ink.
Rhyming Couplets 
A faint pen never won a fair crossword
