How Do I Solve Thee?

■ · By JeffsPuzzles · Published 2024-07-03T11:43:56.535Z

Constructor's Note
The clues are in the form of Shakespeare's 1 Across (ABAB CDCD EFEF GG, iambic pentameter), though the resulting "poem" is nonsensical and, um, terrible. The first two lines (clues) may be read together, but after that it all falls apart.

    The meter and rhyme are solid! (I want to see what happens if you ask an AI image generator to make an image including all the entries…)

      I think that opens a portal to the multiverse.
      Solid puzzle. It helps to not confuse Terry Gross with Terry Crews. I maybe the only person to have ever done that but it’s a very different tote bag!
