Very nice, nemo. Thanks for hosting, mattrom, and for the clip (a top-drawer foundation). Thanks also to fiery and rossim for the votes and to pigale, ginge, and bad boy stevea for the mentions.
Thanks to all for the votes and likes. As a relative novice I am tentative about offering my (often feeble) entries and I particularly benefit from the constructive criticism that site members provide. Thank you, mattrom, for the challenge: a word with lots of possibilities that produced a wonderful range of inventive responses.
Well done Nemo, very crafty!
Cheers Mattrom - good clue.
Thanks for the votes Pigale and JWS, and for the mentions Chris, Nemo, Ginge and Steve - point taken!
