- A funny rhyme
I once put up at a swell hotel,
Where I thought I would be treated well.
I ate one meal and that was all,
When I saw the Bill, I thought I'd fall.
It was twenty shillings that was all,
But faith I made a kick, and this is what the hotel keeper said.

I need the money 'deed I do.Riddles:(1) I have come for a loan of your diddlum datty to batter cruddley crud.
Ans. I have come for the churn dash. Used for churning milk.(2) Patches upon patches with out any stitches, riddle me that and I will give you my "britches". Ans. A cabbage head.(continues on next page)
