  1. Little nanny nitty goat in her white petty-coat
    the longer she stands the shorter she grows.
    a candle.
    A barrel closed at the two ends.
    A egg
    As black as ink as white as snow
    And hops on the road like hailstones.
    A magpie
    A little red man standing by the wall
    He eats all he gets but drinks none at all.
    A fire.
