Well - I get the reference to a faded rose - I think.
A rose in a song is always a woman. Yellow - hair? skin? [SS - is this related to Waltzing Matilda?] |

This common household item has changed little in design in over 6000 years. Its modern name was derived from the Greek "gombhos" What is it?
[Hint: Britons were very slow to accept its use] |
