- (continued from previous page)As flat as a pan one side a woman and the other a man?
A penny.
Wears its heart in its head and stands on one leg?
a head of cabbage.
miss nellie with her red head and white petticoat, the longer she stands the quicker she goes?
A candle.
What goes to Dublin and never stirs?
The road
How is a bar of toffee like a race horse?
The more you lick it the quicker it goes.
miss Nora had a long tail of which she let fly and everytime she went out a gap a piece of her tail got caught in a yaps.
A needle.
The man that made it never wore it, the man that wore it never saw it?
A coffin.
