  1. As round as an apple as plump as a ball can climbe the church over and steeple and all.
    The sun.
    What always walks with its head down.
    A nail in your boot.
    Why does the horse go to the river.
    Because the river will not come to him.
    Twenty-four white horses standing in a hall one big red horse came and licked them all.
    Your mouth.
