What walk with its head down?
A nail in your boot.Round the wood and round the wood and never gets into the wood.
A bark of a tree.As round as an apple as plump as a ball can climb over Churches steeples and all.
The Sun.Why does a hen cross the road?
To get to the other side.Why is a long man lazier than a short man?
Because he is longer in bed.If seven men dig seven holes in seven days how long will it take one man to dig a half a hole.
A man couldnt dig a half a hole.How would a person save his soul?
By walking on his heel.What bounty will fit in a bottle?(continues on next page)
