- (continued from previous page)"Riddle me riddle me Randio,
My father gave me seeds to sow,
The seeds were black and the ground was white,
Riddle me that for tomorrow night."
Ink and paper.
'Tis in 'tis out tis like a trout tis slippery wet and grazey. Your tongue.
Headed like a thimble tailed like a rat, you may guess forever but you couldn't guess that. A pipe.
Ding dong under a bank ten drawing four. A woman milking a cow.
Kitty with the white petticoat Kitty with the red nose,
The longer she lives the smaller she grows. A candle.
What is it that always walks with its head down. A nail in the sole of your boot.
Scicily Sage sat in a cage. All her children died of age and herself kept living hale and hearty. It stands by the road, it belongs to the gate,
It holds my door, and for me it does wait,
Sometimes tis iron and sometimes tis wood,
To me it brings knowledge both evil and good. I see it and you cannot see it though it is nearer to you than to me.(continues on next page)- Collector
