Possibly this painting by Trent Gudmundsson? No. Looking at the Gudmundsson painting everyday for three years would have made me a better person. How wonderful. But no, instead my wall spoke the lanquid pathos of three skinny long-legged fatigued dancers without tutu's painted in a style that could be described as latter-day art deco. Even today I am depressed.

The scoreboard starts at birth on the hour The question; is your life yours or our? All good and bad deeds We score to our needs And at death the scoreboard we will scour HAPPY - HAPAX LEGOMENA

SCOREBOARD – SCOUR
The washing contest’s under way, There’s prizes to be won; Tubs and soap-cakes boldly lay On trestles ‘neath the sun. No marks yet on the scoreboard: Laundresses darkly glower And, hunched up o’er their wash-boards, The dirty vestments scour.
FOLDER - FOLIAR

I've a folder of hapax legomena And other rare verbal phenomena; Its great foliar size Gives much happy surprise, Like the term henpecked husbands use: "Domina".
POSSIBLY – POSTHUMOUS

I've been struggling, almost from my birth To write words of some lasting worth. Possibly this rhyme game Is my ticket to fame; Otherwise, I'll have posthumous dearth.

I wonder: just what is "a croc?" Terra cotta pot, chipped by a rock? Before I cross-check I'll stick out my neck: It's a 'gator that's going "Tick-Tock!"

Where to go from here? What is my choice? I feel as if I've lost my voice. You've made us bereft, No guideword right or left. I'm thinking that's not very noice!

A remonstrance on me you've served, I fear that it is well deserved! My mind was in foment From a Senior Moment: I think I was slightly unnerved. MAIZE - MAKE

Forgive him, tromboniator. Anyone who concocts a "croc" as a "crocodile who goes tick tock" needs a well-earned rest. Most men go their entire lifes without such an exalted construction.
