bairn </index.php?term=bairn> <http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=bairn> <http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=bairn>
"child" (of any age), O.E. bearn, probably related to beran ("bear (v.), carry, give birth"). Not chiefly Scottish.
Found my avatar anagram : has bearn (two)+(1)+(four)
Coincidence, may "child " (of any age) stand for the love of playing till the end of days. Amen.
(No, I wouldn' t, but I did post. I'm am oathbraker as well )The addiction is serious( Now back to a new day of calculations.)
And ETAOIN---E asy with quips, did I ever see you add something more than a quip? When are going to sing one?

This one is for Tsuwm, atoned and well meant. Except for being inconsquent and addicted( no,no drinking , drugs or gambling) I like a bit of accuracy too. Three choices or mixes, meaning whatever you like .  Maybe is was the acrostic I meant. But never mind. An acrostic is a poem or some other text written in an alphabetic script, in which the first letter of each verse, paragraph, or some other recurring feature in the text spells out another message. An acronym (Greek ακρον, akron, "tip" + ονυμα, onyma, "name") is an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of words An anagram is a word or phrase spelled by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. (From Old patient Webster's)

"I'm not operatic." etaoin adds tenor-tonely. If I am to write, etaoin, you must learn to read. artless - natural, not contrived or phoney.In terms of the acronym/anagram the word "operatic" is pejorative. I wonder... Why do I continue to be so nice when the world misunderstands?

Milo, please accept my humblest apologies. artless, in its true definition, was not a word I was familiar with. funny how a word can look so opposite of its meaning.

O.k., here's my try at an acrostic. Those who've met me will be able to say if it's really me. Bodacious and bawdy, but in such a nice way Eloquent and enthusiastic, I am every day Loving and lovely, like many folks here Madcap madam, without any fear Audacious and avid, it’s all in the name Riotous and rowdy, I’ll join in the game Delightful, delighted, as much as I can Unshy and unfettered, I find that I am Kind and kooky, without any rhyme, ...... because I’ve reached the end of the line.
