- (continued from previous page)40 As I went over London bridge I had to pay a penny. I hadn't a penny, I did not borrow a penny and yet I paid a penny?
I paid two halfpennies
41 Riddle me, riddle me randy o.
My father gave me seeds to sow
The seeds were black and the ground was white,
Riddle me, riddle me randy O.
Ink + Paper.
41 Riddle me, riddle me, randy o.
My father gave me some seeds to sow
The seeds began to grow like a pot of boiling snow
and the snow began to melt like a keeler full of milk,
The milk began to boil like a woman feed her child
Through a rock through a reel through an old spinning wheel,
through a horse's shinbone
Was there ever such a riddle seen or known.
