Okay, I'll work on that stanza myself. Maybe you can help me with the next verse. What's a good rhyme for "bucket"?

Description[]
Wooden buckets had constructions similar to barrels, being made of wooden staves bound by hoops. Variants could be made of leather and sturdy metals.[4][2] A smaller bucket could hold about 3 gallons of liquid, or half a cubic foot of material,[6] while larger variants held 5 or 10 gallons each.[4]
Availability[]
An oak bucket.
Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue offered a range of buckets in 5 and 10 gallon sizes, made of leather, wood, bronze, iron, and steel.[4]
Usage[]
“
To dispense fouled water, merely lift the bucket and fling the liquid into the street.
”
- Buckets were extremely useful for carrying water, and also served as excellent receptacles for other materials as needed.[1][2] They had a particularly good synergy with cleaning implements like soap and mops.[4]
- Some kept buckets of water near their jake, sometimes scented so as to stave away stagnant odor, to flush their waste down.[9]
Notable Buckets[]
The Black Bucket Hunt in Waterdeep used the Black Bucket as its centerpiece.[10]
