Two Craters Two Creators and a Quadrangle
The German Composer Johan Brahms had a Lullaby in his body of work and probably not .just because of this, ended up having a crater in a place on the planet Mercury known as the Shakespeare Quadrangle named after him. New York has, according to the lyricist Al Dublin, corroborated by Harry Warren and several singers, a lullaby generated by the activity in its' Broadway, but apparently there is no crater named after the great city. Tooting in London, England, has both a Broadway and on Mars a crater named after it, but almost certainly no .lullaby in its' Broadway.

Haha! Clever, Jamie. Am I to assume that Tooting Broadway is rather unsoporific... what with all that traffic hooting and tooting?... and the odd over-inebriated hooligan ‘mooning’?

.;-))Thanks Neville. ;)Thought you'd like the Title. Tooting isn't the most soporific place but it does have a touch of rough charm

I didn’t want to slag off Tooting as there are family connections nearby, but I got the impression that having a Mars crater named after it struck a rather unlikely or atonal chord. Although there is a first class hospital in Tooting, so that must count...

Gosh, I have not been to Tooting Broadway for more than two decades. Ouch!
In my youth, it was definitely ''unsoporific'' but then again, I was young 😂 nothing was ever boring except people of my (now ) age, LOL.
A very inspiring drablr, Jamie. Really, Tooting Broadway has a crater named after it on Mars?
errr.... Neville, I checked 'unsoporific' and it does not seem to exist. Still, I used it 🤣 -

Frenchie you are most welcome to use it! If it didn’t exist before, it does now! I love inventing new words to suit particular purposes. Great fun!😁
