Well, howdy there! Let’s talk about this astrology thing, you know, the stars and stuff. Folks in Sydney, they like it too, seems like everyone’s got a crossword puzzle about it these days. I saw my grandkid playin’ with one, all them boxes and clues. Confusin’ if you ask me, but hey, it keeps ’em busy.
Now, I heard tell there’s this fella, Sydney, an astrologer he is. Big name, they say. Shows up in them crosswords all the time. Three letters, six letters, sometimes more. Don’t ask me what them letters mean, I ain’t got a clue. But them smarty-pants folks makin’ the puzzles, they sure do like him. “Astrologer Sydney,” they write, and you gotta fill in the blanks. Sounds like a heap of trouble to me.
What’s all this zodiac stuff anyway? I heard someone talkin’ about it once. Said somethin’ about goats and bulls and whatnot. Sounds like a farm, not the sky! But apparently, it means somethin’ to these astrology folks. They say it tells you ’bout your personality, what kind of day you’re gonna have, all that jazz. I reckon I’d rather just look at the clouds myself. They don’t need no fancy names or meanings.
Them crossword puzzles, they got all sorts of clues about Sydney. Sometimes they ask for his name straight up. Other times, they give you a hint, like “Sydney who knew his zodiac signs.” My goodness, sounds like he knew a whole lot! Twelve signs, they say. Twelve! That’s more than I can keep track of, that’s for sure. I can barely remember where I put my glasses.
- They say Aries is a ram,
- Taurus is a bull,
- and Gemini is twins.
Lordy, it just goes on and on. I tell you what, it’s more complicated than milkin’ a cow on a frosty mornin’. And these crossword puzzle makers, they think everyone knows this stuff! They got clues about three-letter words, six-letter words, all related to Sydney and his star business. Thirty answers they got, sometimes even forty! I reckon that’s a lot of ways to say the same thing.
I tried lookin’ at one of them puzzles once. Big mistake. All them little boxes, up and down, left and right. Made my head spin. And the clues, well, they might as well be written in a foreign language. “Astrologer Sydney last seen in Premier Sunday puzzle,” one said. Premier Sunday? What in tarnation is that? Sounds like somethin’ fancy folks do. Me, I’m more of a Saturday mornin’ pancakes kind of gal.
But I guess people like it, this astrology and crossword puzzle mix. Keeps their minds sharp, maybe. I’d rather be out in the garden, pullin’ weeds and talkin’ to the birds. But hey, to each their own, right? If them folks in Sydney wanna spend their time fillin’ in little boxes about Sydney the astrologer, well, that’s their business. Just don’t ask me to help, ’cause I ain’t got a lick of sense when it comes to stars and signs.
So, if you’re into this astrology Sydney crossword thing, good for you. But me, I’ll stick to plantin’ my tomatoes and watchin’ the sun go up and down. That’s predictable enough for me. And if you ever see a crossword puzzle with “Astrologer Sydney” in it, just remember this old lady told you: it’s a whole lot more complicated than it looks!
And that’s all I got to say about that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed the chickens.
