    Tomhais:
    An sagart a’s a dheirbhsiúir,
    An ministir a’s a bhean,
    Chuaidh siad ‘na coilleadh
    A’s fuair siad nead.
    Bhí ceithre h-uibhe ins an nead,
    Thug an uile dhuine aca uibh leis
    Cá mhéad uibh a bhí fágtha?
    Bhí uibh amháin fágtha, de bhrigh gurab í deirbhsiúir an t-sagairt a bhí mar bean chéile ag an mhinistir, agus mar sin de ní rabh ann ach trí dhuine.
    Tomhais:
    Bhéarfaidh mé isteach ar mo dhruim é
    A’s cuirfidh mé amach ‘na dhusta é.
    Sin cliabh mónadh.
