    night?
    Ans: - Your boots.
    Little Nancy Etticoat in a white petticoat, the longer she stands the shorter she grows.
    Ans: - A candle
    As I went out a slippery gap I met my Uncle Davy I cut off his head and drank his sap and left his body easy.
    Ans: - A bottle of porter
    A flock of white sheep on a red hill here they go, there they go, now they stand still.
    Ans: - Teeth in your gums.
