I have 
n-o puzzle  this           week,  much as it               saddens me/
Mak-ing them and   having people solve  them filled me with such glee/
I have discovered            that making        puzzles is very har-d/
But  do not    be put off your   guard/      I am sur-e I  will  come 
u-p wit-h something for  next t--im-e/  (Please ignor-e th-is l---ine, 
I d-o not hav-e a rhyme)/ Perhaps I s-hould   stop  the puzzles since 
I am      running dry/     find  some new way t-o be  funny and   wry/
There  are only  so many    puzzles I can m-ake/befo-re m-y mind will 
crumble     and break/  So do not b-e   fooled by the odd   s-pac-ing/
And         the   scatter--ed     num-ber-s,          it   is onl-y me 
faking/    So come and                                 play and  give 
                                                               me s-ome 
                    exciting                            new puzzle ideas/ 
    please!  please!  please!please!  please! please! please!  please!
                      please! p-lease    please!             please!

           come t-o:
