- (continued from previous page)same time?
Ans. Getting old
As black as ink as white as milk and hops on the road like hailstones?
A magpie.
What part of a cow goes out on a gap first?
Her breath.
As round as an apple, as sharp as a lance, if you ever on top of it, it would carry you to France?
The sun.
As I went out on yonder gap I met my uncle Davy, I cut off his head, and sucked his blood, and left him lying easy.
A blackberry.
As I sat on my hunkers. I peeked through my winkers, I saw the dead leaving the live?
The fire raked, and the shovel on top of it.
