- Head like a temble tailed like a rat you may gues for ever but youwill never guess that.
A pipe.Behind the hill there is a press, and in that press there is a cup, and in that cup there is a sup that everyone must drink.
Death.As round as an apple as plump as a ball can climb the Church over steeple and all.
the Sun.What is the difference between a stamp and an ass.
An ass you lick with stick a stamp yo stick with a lick.As I was going out in the garden gate I met my uncle Daisey I cut off his head and drank his blood and left his body easy.
A bottle of wine
