- (continued from previous page)what would it be.
A SinWhy is the letter E. lazy.
Because it is in the middle of bed.
- Hairy in and hairy out hairy in to hairy's mouth
A man pulling up his stocking.Hairy all over, and rough in the skin, two waging and one going in
A pig rooting.What are the oldest tops in the world.
The mountain topsRiddle me riddle me ry two going in, and one passing by.
A man sowing a boot.I have something behind the house the more I give it the more it growls.
A sawmill.I have a little thing in my house if I give it water it will die if I give it sticks it would live.
A fire.As I went up the stairs I looked out through the window. I saw the dead carring the living.
A motor carLondon Derry Cork and Kerry spell me that without a K.
that.As round as an apple as deep as a cup all the men in Ireland wouldn't pull it up.
A moon in a well.What part of a cow goes over the ditch first.
