Gams? Haven't heard it before, although there's 'most weak hams' in 'Hamlet' (from when Hamlet is making rude remarks about old men to Polonius). I think it means legs. I will add 'gams' to my knowledge bank.

A great choice of password; we have had so many themes now that we have to put our thinking caps on to think of new ones.

I was in a mood for writing passwords and clues the other week, and wrote another four.

I cast *this* one into verse, as I hope you observe:

1. Gwaihir soars above, while little Elanor runs free –
2. The branch is on the water, (the river, not the sea).
3. Alone, this one is mournful; it’s desolate and old;
4. The stork delivers cargo, (traditionally told).
5. Here’s Christmas in abundance, or so the flora says!
6. In Lorien, a songbird even here may write her lays.
7. If Smaug were filled with envy, here he’d frighten all the mutts!
8. But here the plosives flourish, and the little horse struts.
