- (continued from previous page)life?
A Priest.A farmer sent his boy to the forge and told him to drive on the new shoes with the old shoes, and to bring home the old shoes in his pocket.
He made a hammer of the old shoes.How many nails would it take to shoe a well shod horse?
No one because he his already shod.What word with five letters take two out of it and one remains?
A stone.Did you ever see half a pigs head with two eyes?
I see it with my own eyes.What smells most in a cook shop?
Your nose.As I went out I soon came in. Out from the dead the life did spring. The tree did shake but not a leaf did fall and thats my riddle among you all?
A birds nest inside in a dead mans skull and three gearrcacs in it.
