    Ink, ank, under the tank, ten drawing four
    A woman milking a cow
    It opens like a barn-door it closes like a trap a many a thing you think of before you think of that
    An umbrella
    On the gravel I travel, on the ocean I stand, I rode the mare that never foaled and carried the bridle in my hand
    A ship
    It's body is long and thin
    Its head is quite round
    It runs round the house
    With its head towards the ground
    A nail in a boot
    I know a house and a mouse wouldn't fit in it and all the people in the world would not count all the windows in it
    A thimble
    Its body is long and thin
    And its head is quite round,
    It runs round the house,
    With its head towards the ground.
