How many sides in a house?
Two, (Inside, and outside).
In Parker's Park, there walks a deer.
With silvery crisp, and golden ear.
Neither fish, flesh, feather, nor bone,
In Parker's Park, he walks alone.
A snail.Little thing, little thing, smaller than a mouse.
Has more windows than a king's house.
A thimble.A leaper of ditches, a clipper of corn.
A tight little fellow, with two leather horns.
A hare.Why did Moses not take rabbits into the ark?
It was not Moses who entered the ark, it was Noe.What county in Ireland would fit in a bottle?
CorkPatch upon patch, and no stitch.
A head of cabbage.As I went down the boreen, I met a little tailor, I put him in my pocket, for fear the ducks would eat him. I began to tickle me, and I began to beat him. I threw him on the the Dublin road that the ducks would eat him.
A frog.
