- (continued from previous page)The more I looked at it, the less I liked it
And brought it home because I couldn't help it
A thorn.Black we are, but much admired.
Men seek for us till they are tired.
We tire the horse, but comfort man
Tell me the riddle if you can.
CoalsAs I was going through garden gap,
Who should I see but Dick Red-Cap,
A stick in his hand and stone in his throat,
If you'll tell me this riddle I'll give you a groat.
A Cherry.As I was going o'er London Bridge,
I met a cart full of fingers and thumbs.
