    I always see it, the king seldom sees it but God never sees it
    (HIs own eaquals)
    A cake and crumbs all round
    (The moon and stars)
    As round as an apple as flat as a pan on one side a woman and on the other a man
    (A penny)
    Steel toes iron nose and on my word he would the crows
    (A gun)
    A head like a thimble, a tail like a rat you could guess for ever but you would not guess that
    (A pipe)
    Chip, chap cherry all the men in Derry could
