    Old mother picture,
    She had but one eye,
    A big long tail and she could fly,
    Every time she went over the gap,
    She left a piece of her tail in the trap?
    A needle and thread.
    As I was going to St. Ives I met a man and seven wives. Each wife had a bag, each bag had a cat, each cat had a kitten,
    and how many were going to St. Ives?
    One.
    I had a little house and a mouse would not fit in it, and all the men in Ireland would not count all the windows in it?
    A thimble.
