    1 As I was going through a slippery gap I met a sticking bull.
    He stuck and I flung, if you had to be there to see the fun.?
    A thorn in your foot.
    2 On green gravel as I do travel,
    on black oak I do stand,
    I rode the mare that never foaled,
    and I held the bridle in my hand?
    A boat.
    3 What goes round the wood, and round the wood and licks the wood all over?
    A cow licking a tub.
    4 I have a wee mare with an iron throat. The faster she goes she swallows the rope?
    A woman spinning.
