    A roomful and a houseful and you couldn't get a spoonful.
    Ans: Smoke.
    Through the woods and through the woods with their heads down.
    Ans: Nails in a man's boots.
    As round as an apple as deep as a cup all the men in Derry wouldn't lift it up.
    Ans: A spring well.
    I've a little Kerry cow in the byre and all the men in Derry wouldn't tie her
    Ans: A fly
    Round the house and round and drags it's puddings after her.
    Ans: A hen and a clutch of chickens.
    As I went up yonder hill I met my Uncle Phil long nose needle toes upon my word he'd frighten the crows.
    Ans: A snipe.
