The Sunday Morning, 7th Puzzle, Fear of 4th Place Blues
by Parnell Hall [sung at the 2002 American Crossword Puzzle Tournament]
Sunday morning, seventh puzzle The big clock is ticking down I'm sitting at the table My brow creased in a frown I could make the finals Be a person of renown What the hell is 14-Down?
This is the type of puzzle That makes me wanna kill I swear someone created it I feel like a moron A fool and a clown What the hell is 14-Down?
It's the same people every year It really gets my goat Trip Payne's a two-time winner Hell, he looks too young to vote Hey, Trip, don't you think it's time To spread the wealth around? What the hell is 14-Down?
Half of the contestants Are already on their breaks I can hear Jon Delfin out there Playing the piano, for crissakes I don't want to be sitting here When the collectors come around What the hell is 14-Down?
Never have I ever solved A puzzle quite so slow The Ice Man's already cometh And I'm Waiting for Godot Does Doug really need another Jewel in his crown? What the hell is 14-Down?
I'd sell my soul to the devil If I thought it would do any good If there were any way to contact him Believe me, I would But that avenue's no longer open To me, I fear Hell must have frozen over Ellen Ripstein won last year Looks like I'll have to wait once more Till next year rolls around What the hell is 14-Down?
