    (1) The cross of the plough that turn up the green,
    The part of the ship that seldom is seen.
    An "a" in the middle without any more
    Will tell you a town between Navan and Forebrosakeel.
    (2) The beginning of eternity, the end of space and time,
    The beginning of every end, and the end of every place?
    The letter "e."
    (3) I ran in the field and I got it,
    I sat down to look for it,
    But I could not find it?
    A thorn in your foot
    (4) Round the house and round the house and draws a harrow after it?
    A hen with a clutch of chickens.
    (5) Black and white and read all over?
    Newspapaer
    (6) As i looked out on my grandfather's window
