Poem 271: Brain Exercise

I know I have talked about my “dog walks” time and time again

Once I finish with these excursions it’s time to exercise my brain

There are daily challenges that I endeavour to do

I proceed to tackle them when our hike is through

I change up my “apps” every once in a while

Playing word games is much more my style

There are so many to choose from and vary in degree

Only one of them has stood the test of time for me

I put the onus on my “father”, he’s the one to blame

The  person who got me hooked on the “crossword puzzle” game

He bought those little books at the local corner store

Solved all the puzzles and proceeded to buy some more

I guess he inspired me as I now continue to do mine

However I don’t purchase the booklets, I do them online

There is one game that I particularly enjoy

If you were still alive, I think you would have liked it also “Roy”

Every month, twenty levels are added to their site

I take up the challenge and play them from morning until night

This means one hundred puzzles for the month to play

For some reason I try to do them all in one day

I kept up with them for years right from the start

That was until my computer tablet fell apart

After I purchased a new one I installed this game

Unfortunately it never kept my progress, it really was a shame

So I had to start from scratch, but I did it anyway

This brings me back to where I am today

Over seven years invested and every level is done

Now this tablet is failing also and I had to buy another one!

Luckily I learned something and I can give you some advice

Naturally I installed this game on my new device

Because I signed up with my “Google” account there was no memory loss

I just got new puzzles for February and continue to play “CodyCross”
