Countdown is a number's game
It's a word scrabbling teaser
& not for the lame
Only a left & right brain pleaser
It was in that film, "about a boy"
boo boo, boo boo, boo boo, dee do, chime
Really makes you worry
Will I get that conundrum in time?
Not sure, think you will be sorry!
When you can't unscramble those letters
It really makes you feel dyslexic
But you still owe your creditors
That opponent makes you feel sick
Over to dictionary corner
There is a laugh or two
They tend to think abit broader
With many a quip to chew
When a 9 Letter rude word
Comes up on the board
The audience are stirred
Smirking at the quiz lord
Everyone pretends nothing occurred
Ignoring the golden gem
So they only make a six letter word
Whilst clearing their throats, AHEM!
