    OK. You mean for 1. The famous/infamous George Armstrong Custer, so I assume it has something to do with custard

    2. I give up.

    3. Developing a lisp (and becoming Catholic), Purgatory or The Grave (if not Catholic) [(wait on hell).]

    Yellow and scary was shark infested custard, when I was a kid.

    and whales used to be weighed at a whale-weigh station
    Voices mysterious far and near,
    Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
    Are calling and whispering in my ear,
    Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?

    Question

    Yeah, but I write my own puzzles...



    Your parents told you often enough,
    The things you fear aren't really there
    If you ignore them, short stuff,
    Then they will have to disappear!
    This of all the haunting things alone,
    Cannot appear unless you look—
    Turn away and it will be gone:
    Cannot return without your vision's hook.
    Not always seen, bright must be
    The place where you may spy the thing:
    But in every season there will be
    A place to look where it is hiding:
    As close to you as you own breath—
    A burden borne until your death

    What is this thing and how do you see it?

    It's a shadow - you can see it when light is cast at any angle other than directly above or under it, hence the reference to the need for "brightness" in order to see it.

    Good catch, Night! Yeah, "in every season" would throw out a shadow, because many places have rainy seasons. But reflections show in mirrors or water. Besides when you turn away, your shadow turns with you. Not so with a reflection. Only spot in places where it may refelect.

    Well there's this one:

    This phrase is probably appropriate to utter when a certain appliance won't.
