- (continued from previous page)And still I came home with it.
A thorn in my fot.
As round as an apple as plump as a Ball
It climbs over Church, steeple and all
The Sun.
I went up the hill and down the hill
and I carried the Hill on my back.
A ladder.
What's as deep as hell? A tailors thimble.
Why is the white hen cleverer than the black one?
Because the white hen can lay a white egg but the black hen cannot lay a black egg.
Why does a hen cross the road.
Because she wants to.
What is full and holds more.
A pot full of potatoes - can hold water.
Middy-moddy round-body, three feet and a wooden hat.
A Pot
What is the nearest bird to the fire?
The Crane
