    Two semi circles and a circle complete
    A. TOBACCO
    The more you take out of it the bigger it gets
    A hole.
    What kind of a wig cant a man make
    An earwig.
    Humpty dumpty sat on the wall
    Humpty dumpty got a great fall
    All the kings horses and all the kings men
    Couldn't get humpty dumpty together again
    An egg

  2. Rhymes

    This rhyme is said when playing a game called "Thread the Needle and sew".
    How many miles to baby land
    Three score and ten
    Will I be there at candle light
    Yes and back again
    Thread the needle and sew, sew, sew, sew.
    A halfpenny for a cotton ball
    A penny for a needle
    Thats the way the money goes
    And pop goes the weazel.
