- Riddles
Scratch my back and I am no body leave me alone and I am every body?
A looking glass.
As I went along by the castle wall I saw a thing and I let a call. It’s head was flesh and its mouth was horn and such a man was never born?
A cock
I first went out and then went in, I saw the dead that the live was in; one fled; six stayed; riddle me that or I’ll hang yah dead?
A nest of birds in a dead horse’s ear.
It grew in the woods with leaves on it, grazed in the fields with hair on it and walked in the road with feet in it?
Clogs
One half of an entrance the first to begin, a half of a number not exceeding ten, two thirds of a grain which you often have seen, the name of a place where you often have been?
