   Why does a cow go over the hill Because she can't go under it. What goes around the house, and round the house, and peeps in every window. The sun. A leaper of ditches, a cropper of corn, a tight little fellow with two leather thorns. A rabbit What goes through the country, round the town, and up the chimneys with its head down. A nail in a Sweeper's foot. What county in Ireland can your put into a bottle. Cork

   Think hank under bank, few drowning pour.

   Milking a cow.

   One windy night I saw a sight, The dead burying the living.

   Caking a fire with dead ashes over live coals.

   Patch upon patch without any stitches, Riddle me that and I'll give you my breeches.

   A cabbage head.
