  1. There is a little lady and she sits in the ditch and if you go near her she will give you the itch.
    A nettle.
    As I went up the hill of wonders I saw forty two bulldogs tearing the hill asunder
    A Harrow.
    Why does a hen pick a pot.
    Because she can't lick it.
    When was beef the highest.
    When the cow jumped over the moon.
    When the clock strikes thirteen what time is it.
    It is time to get a new one.
