qms commented on the word panyard
We adults are still girls and boys
But free to annoy with our toys.
A cacophonous standard
Is set in the panyard,
A hell (or a heaven) of noise.
However, I am not persuaded by the "steel band corral" definition for this word. It sounds like something concocted in a competition to guess what the word might mean, maybe beating out "the distance traveled by a pancake when flipped from a skillet." I see that the more commonly cited definition is an obsolete version of pannier, a kind of basket. This pleases me more. It's a sturdy weed surviving through neglect.
A word may do what you ask it
But temper the challenge you task it;
Above all stand guard
So a word like panyard
Can gracefully age as a basket.
