I could not vote for that one because I don't know what oakum
means ( dictionary taboo). I like the look of the word.

It can't possibly be any of these, or it's all but one of these.
So I'll guess c) because I want to call one of our local politicians that and because I had a Sam Adam Scotch Ale last night and it was great. (No offense j)).
Thanks all.

I was caulking seams and packing joints
And getting jabbed in my acupoints
When sweet Laura came and stole my heart away.
I touched her knee and she screamed, "Aroint!"
And now there's hardly any point
In staying here for even one more day.

Thanks. No, not so far: I have a concert coming up and the tunes for it are so loud in my brain that I can't find anything original in there.
