- (continued from previous page)A lazy old mother a hard working father twelve little children all the same colour.?
The face of a clock.
Headed like a thimble tailed like a rat you could be guessing for ever but you could not guess that?
A pipe.
A riddle a riddle a farmers fiddle alive at each end and dead in the middle?
A plough.
What is it that never was or never will be?
Your small finger to be as long as the big one.
Long legs, crooked thigs, short head and no eyes?
A tongs
