- Headed like a thimble, tailed like a rat you may guess for ever but you couldn't guess that.
A pipe.
Round the house and round the house and at night sleeps in the corner.
A clutch of chickens.
What walks with its head down.
Nails in your boots.
I went up the road I went down the road and I took the road on my back.
A ladder.
I have a little house and a mouse wouldn't fit in it, and all the men in ireland couldn't count all the windows in it.
A thimble.
A roomful a roomful and can't catch a spoonful.
Smoke.
