- (continued from previous page)As black as ink, as white as milk, and red all over. A newspaper.
What is it that is neither inside the house nor outside the house; but still it is under the roof of the house? A window.
I see a little man standing in the field;
if I pull his leg his nose will bleed. A pump.
I looked out the window and I saw twenty-four bulldogs tearing up the ground. A harrow.
It went to America and stopped there, and it came home because it did not go there. A watch.
A flock of sheep of a red hill, here they go, there they go, now they stand still. Your teeth.Collected by Yvonne Conway, Muckalee, Ballyfoyle, Co. Kilkenny from
Thomas Coonan, Muckalee, farmer; age 60. born and reared in Muckalee and has always lived there.
