    And eating nothing at all? A lamp.
    8 What goes round the wood, and round the wood, and never gets into the wood? The bark of the tree.
    9. "Humpty Dumpty" sat on the wall,
    "Humpty Dumpty" got a great fall,
    And all the King's horses and all the King's men,
    Could not put "Humpty Dumpty" together again? An Egg.
    10 A wee wee pony, grey and slim,
    A long white flowing tail on him,
    I know a man with grassy thumbs
    Driving him all through the wood.
    A needle and thread
