- Riddle me riddle me randyo
My father gave me seeds to sow
The seeds were black
And the ground was white
And riddle me that before to-night
- ink and paper (writing)As I was going out a shlippery gap
I met my Uncle Davy
I cut off his head
And left his body airy
- head of cabbageWhat is it goes round the house all day and sleeps in the corner at night
- a broomThere was a little house and a mouse wouldn't fit in it,
And all the min in town couldn't count all the windows in it.
- A thimble.
