- A man met a man in a little wee lane
said the man to the man where have you been.
I have been to the park following the deer. Will you lend me your little dog.
I will do so
Call your little dog after me what is its name. I have told you twice oer and I will tell you no more.
Been
As I went out a guttery gap.
I met my uncle Davy.
I broke his nose spilt his blood
and left him lying easy.
A bottle of porter
What goes around the floor
and Sleeps in the corner at night
A brush.What goes around the field and stops at every corner.
A reaper and binder
What goes up the tree with its head down.
A nail in a mans boot.Nov 16th 1937.
