- (continued from previous page)how many is that.
Five.
Four sticks standers, four yallyanders, two crooners, two lookers and a wagger.
A cow.
What part of you comes in the door first.
Your breath.
Why does a dog go round the house so many times before he lies down.
To search for his pillow.
Round about the market house and peeps in the key hole.
The sun.
It flies high, flies low, wears shoes and has none.
A football.
