    In the corner I saw the lad lie,
    With fire in his heart and core in his eye.
    A bottle of whiskey.
    I have an eye and cannot see?
    A needle.
    What is it that is full and holds more.
    A pot full of potatoes.
    What God never sees; what a king seldom sees; what we see every day.
    An equal.
