- As round as an apple as deep as a cup and all the men in Derry wouldn't lift it up. A well. Under the fire and over the fire and never gets near the fire. A cake in an oven. What goes in dry and comes out wet and everybody likes it. Tea going into a tea-pot. Headed like a thimble tailed like a rat yo may guess for ever and you wouldn't guess that. A pipe. What is the difference between a child and a sailor. A child makes his ocean in the bed and a sailor makes his bed in the ocean. Ink ank under bank ten drawing four. A woman milking a cow. What is the weight of the moon. A hundred weight because there are four quarters in the moon.
