Re: And yet another interesting word.
You are right Neville, nothing rhymes with Orange. I even asked my English Professor, Dr. Quarange and he couldn't think of a rhyme for it either. I will ask the Gold Coast Suns Ruckman, Daniel Gorringe.

Neil, the ABPA judges will mark you down for " forced rhyme ", or they should.

Re: And yet another interesting word.
Ah Heather, thanks, I connected " it " to the wrong thing. I doubt if any bush poet would want to use rostrum in a bush poem, unless they were wanting to take the michael out of me on this post.

No !
I think Marty Boyce is right, rostrum is a boring word ( interesting history ) . In fact latin is a dull language, I'm glad I'm not follower of the Pope. I used to fall asleep in the latin lessons at school.

Re: And yet another interesting word.
Ooh a dare ...
I sat beneath the Poa Tree and thought about a ‘rostrum’,
‘cause it is has such an interesting sound.
Zondrae wants a rhyming word so I employed my claustrum
but I don’t think there’s any to be found.
Definitions of claustrum:
•noun: a layer of gray matter in the brain adjacent to the lenticular nucleus
