Puzzle Song

Per our longstanding tradition (that is, since we started up in late February), we end each series with lyrics to an original song on the topic.

Readers are invited to get in touch with their inner troubadour and - if they lack the self-confidence to break into an ad libbed song at maximum volume - at least see if they can hum something in their head.

“JUST ONE MORE”

Just One More
I want to solve Just One More
Then I’ll stop ignoring things
And do all the boring things
That need to get done
But aren’t as much fun
As Just One More.

One single puzzle more to solve
And then I’ll call it quits
One single puzzle more to solve
I hope it gives me fits.

Just a sip and not a guzzle
How to stop - now that’s the puzzle.

Just One More
I want to solve Just One More
As long as it’s taxing me
And therefore relaxing me
That’ll do the trick
Or else I won’t stick 
With Just One More.
