   "To you, Mister casey, I give my whole estate,
   And to you, young O'Brien, my money and my plate,
   I give to you, Sir Francis, my whip, spurs, and cap,
   For you crossed walls and ditches and ne'er looked for a gap".

   Riddle me riddle me ranty O, My father gave me seed to sow. When the seed began to grow Like a garden full of snow. When the snow began to melt Like a ship without a belt. When the ship began to sail Like a bird without a tail. When the bird began to fly Like an eagle in the sky. When the sky began to fall Lord have mercy on us all. (a ship drowning)
