   1 Riddle me, riddle me now, teeth like a cat, Bends like a bow. Riddle me, riddle me that. (A saw) 2 There was a woman one time, she had eight for dinner, she had only seven potatoes. How did she divide them equally among them? (She made poundies) 3 Why is Ireland like a bottle? (Because there is a cork at the end of both) 4 It is as round as a riddle. It is as sharp as a lance. If you go on the top of it it would carry you to France. (The moon)
