Why does Windows OS run so slow? Why does it feel like 10 below? The best laid programs of mice and men And even the inscrutable Zen Has been laid low by a stack overflow

The rebus almost had me beat Then it turned out to so sweet I did a double take After that lucky “break” And it was all easy street

The puzzle was tailor-made A credit to the setter trade A little treasure Made to measure Bespoke and top grade

All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two. This Double O seven was pure heaven. Swathi

Loved today’s puzzle, especially the themed clues. I especially liked the clueing, no arcane words or proper nouns. I look forward to more such puzzles

For a news fiend like me, the puzzle was a delight. However the clues around the best headline (NY Post 1983) were too arcane for me to get to it. Swathi

My friend’s comment about my comment. Shwathi, nice comment. I wash shurprised that you didn’t shay “shweet dishtraction”. Shorry, I can hear you all asking me to shush 🤣 🤫🤐.

Constructed with “Wile” and guile The puzzle made me smile The anvil and the bent ear Recalled a cartoon so dear I enjoyed as a little “chile”

As Mr Ross misquoteth the Bard He catcheth the pedant off-guard He dare not scowl And call it foul As it bringeth a smile even to the die-hard
