    The King of Morocco built a ship,
    And in that ship his daughter lies,
    And if I told you her name, I'd be to blame,
    And now I have told it to you three times.
    Answer: And (pronounced - Anne)
    What is the least thing a boy can have in his pocket? A hole.
    What would you fill a barrel with to lessen its weight? Holes.
    What is brought to the table, cut, and never eaten? Pack of cards.
    As I walked out and as I walked in,
    I saw the dead and the alive within,
    Nine did lie, and the truth did fly,
    And if you me that I am to die?
    A wren's nest in a skull.
    What stick never grows in the wood? A Candlestick
