    The man that wore it never saw it?
    A coffin.
    Londonderry, Cork and Kerry.
    Spell me that without an R
    THAT
    As I went o'er yon hilly-o
    I met a piece of timber-o
    I made nine hills, nine mill
    A bittle and a pot-sticks?
    A hatchet.
    What is as crooked as the River Bride?
    Its banks.
    Why is a dog's tail like the heart of a tree?
    They are both farthest away from the bark.
    Father and mother, sister and brother
    Running all day, couldn't catch one another?
    The spokes of a wheel.
    Zink zank, under the bank
    Ten drawing four.
    Milking a cow.
