   What goes round and round the house and sleeps in the corner at night? A brush. What goes from house to house and its head down? A nail in a boot What grows in the wood and sounds in the town and earns many a master's pound? A fiddle There's a goose in yonder meadow, she is as large as her size and the men that go with her need to be wise? A ship. Why does a cow look over a ditch? Because she can't look under it. What never was nor never will be? A mouse's nest in a cat's ear. Why is a soldier compared to a young lady? Because one faces the powder and the other powder's the face. What sleeps all night with its finger in its eye? The crook. What goes round and round the house and drags its puddings after it? A hen and a flock of chickens. What has teeth and can't eat? A comb. Up high, down low, up hills, down hollows, wears boots and has none? A football. What has two eyes and can't see? The scissors. What is the skyest thing in the house? The clock because it keeps its hands on its face. Two feet on the ground three feet over head and the mouth of the living in the mouth of the dead? A pot on a man's head
