Such a clever form of poetry, and you've done so well, I particularly like the wording and the shape it creates..

The clerks at Doctors' Commons and the other courts changed their wording as little as possible and so Widow Relict came in for Vidua Relicta. It simply meant "the widow left behind [by the said deceased]" -- i.e. the executrix was specified as his widow rather than somebody else's.

I have heard of derelict before. Guess you just have to take your licks sometime. I always do when my wife has finished making icing for the cake. Jim Horn
