I particularly liked BARTONS, as I knew it from having written this limerick for OEDILF:
A farmer, when harvest was startin', Asked Charlie to fetch him a carton. "The carton," said Charlie, "Encloses some barley And so does the farmyard, the barton."
The word barton, meaning farmyard, derives from the Old English for 'barley enclosure'.
