    There is a town in Ireland,
    It's full of great fame,
    Spell it backwards and forwards,
    And it's all the same.
    Ans. Navan
    What is that, that runs between two houses and is out all night?
    Ans. A path.
    What goes up the ladder with its head down.
    Ans. A stud in a man's shoe.
