- (continued from previous page)As round as an apple as flat as a pan as high as the market house church steeple and all?
The moon.
What is brought to the table and cut but never eaten
A deck of cards.
What is the brightest thing in the house?
The fire.
Useless useless instrument once it's bought its' never lent, the man that has it doesnt know whether he has it or not?
A coffin.
I went to an apple tree and there were apples on it
I took no apples off it nor I left no apples on it?
I took one off and left one.
What goes through the water and through the water and never touches it?
A man in a boat.
A house full a room full and couldnt catch a spoon full
The smoke
As I went up to Dublin I saw a mighty wonder four and twenty wild geese tearing the world asunder?
A harrow.
Thirty white horses upon a red hill there they champ champ and there they stand still?
A set of teeth.
