“As round as a marble ¶ As flat as a pan ¶ Half of a woman ¶ And full of a man ¶ Answer a penny”
As round as a marble
As flat as a pan
Half of a woman
And the full of a man
Answer A pennyThere was a man of Adam's race
Lived in a place beneath the sun
Twas not in heaven or in hell
Nor yet on earth where mortals dwell
His house was close
Well covered over
Where no man lived
Since or before
If you know that man of fame
Tell me where he lived
And what was his name.
Answer Jonas in the whale's stomach
