    I had a little sister, her name was Peep Peep, she would go over the sea if it was ever so deep.
    A star.
    It is red and it is yellow, and green, the King cannot touch it not neither the Queen.
    The rainbow.
    Why is the sun like a good carpenter?
    Because it is putting in beams all day.
    Around the house and stands behind the door.
    A sweeping brush.
    Around the wood and around the wood and never goes into the wood.
    A hoop on a barrel.
    What man in this parish would the biggest hat fit.
    The man with the biggest head.
