Modernist prose poetry and a bit of rambling from me.

Mortar

Every now and then I'm hit with the absurdity and beauty of the English language. Is it any wonder I find it hard to put it away?

Mortar:
Cup or bowl, used with a pestle to grind things.
Mixture used to bind
And then, of course, mortar shells.

I'm sure I'm forgetting at least one definition. I think there's a poem in there, somewhere ;)
