On this page
- (continued from previous page)'Tis as black as ink
As white as milk
And it hops on the road
like hailstones.
A magpie.
Why does a hen
pick a pot?
Because she cannot lick it.
Why does a cow,
go over a ditch?
Because she cannot go under it.
Hoddy - doddy with
a round black body.
A pot.
A flock of white sheep
On a little red hill
Here they go, there they go
now they stand still.
Teeth in your gums.
Riddle me, riddle me
what's that
over the head
and under the hat?
The hair of your head.
