    As deep as a cup,
    And all the King's horses
    Could never draw it up.
    A spring well.

    A newspaper.
    5. Slibbery, slobbery, greasy,
    When she's in she's easy,
    When she's out she's hopping about,
    Slibbery, slobbery, greasy.
    Gutter.
    6. Did you ever see the kettle boiling?
    No but I often saw the water in it boiling.
