- I know a little lady she has a red nose the longer she lives the shorter she grows.
A Candle
Long legs crooked theighs little head and no eyes.
A tongs.
As I went up Cairn Hill, Cairn Hill was shaking, I saw four and twenty little devils breaking their hearts reaping.
Mice at a stack of oats.
I know a little Lady her name is Boh Peep she would go over the sea if it were ever so deep.
A Star.
A kitchen full and a room full and could not catch a spoon full.
A House full of smoke.
Under the fire and over the fire and never tutches the fire.
A cake of bread in an oven.
