  1. (continued from previous page)
    As round as an apple,
    As deep as a cup,
    And all the men in Derry,
    Could not lift it up?
    -A well.
    It opens like a barn-door,
    It close like a trap,
    Twenty things you'll think of,
    Before you think of that?
    -An umbrella.
    Where was Moses when the light was out?
    - In the darkness.
