  1. (continued from previous page)
    What stands with its heart in its head
    A cabbage
    Two legs hanging four legs standing four inside
    A man riding a mare and her in foal.
    When I was running a thing I found And to find it I looked all round If I found it I would throw it away
    A thorn in your foot.
    Three half loaves three whole loaves and three quarters of an other divide that on the fiddler and his wife the piper and his mother
    One and quarter and a quarter for the crumbs
    Why is it hard to catch the 12 hrs 50 mins train
    Because its ten to one will you catch it
