    Riddles
    A riddle a riddle
    As I suppose
    Full of eyes
    But never a nose
    (A sieve)
    For As round as an apple
    As deep as a cup
    All the Queen's horses
    Can't draw it up
    (A well)
    We have a horse
    Without any head
    He is never alive
    And will never be dead
    (A clothes-horse)
