    Why does a millar wear a white hat.
    To cover his head.
    As round as an apple
    As flat as a pan
    One side a woman
    And the other a man.
    A penny.
    Black and white and read all over.
    A news paper.
    A I went up the boiteen
    I met my Auntie Noreen
    Red toes, Iron nose
    On my word she would frighten the crows.
    A gun.
    What stands on one leg
    A head of cabbage.
