    Riddles
    What is the favourite word with women. The last word.
    What has no feet yet wears boots and shoes. A gravel path.
    "Tewenty" four white cows tied in a stall and one red one licking them all.
    Your tongue licking your teeth.
    Whats full and holds more.
    A pot full of potatoes when you pour water in.

    A cake in an oven.
    What goes round the wood and round the wood and never enters the wood.
    The bark of a tree.
