    A flock of white sheep on a red hill,
    Here they go, there they go
    Now they stand still.
    Teeth in your gums.

    As round as an apple
    As plump as a ball
    Can climb up the Church
    And steeple and all.
    The sun.
    A kitchenful, a roomful, but you wouldn't catch a spoonful.
    Smoke.
    Round the wood and round the wood
    But never gets into the wood.
    Bark.
    What's full of holes but still holds water.
    A sponge.
