- Riddles
As round as an apple; as plump as a ball; can climb the church over steeple and all
The sunIt is deep and its damp and it's green over head and its fit for the Lord or the Lady
A graveHeaded like a thimble tailed like a rat you may guess for ever but you cant guess that
A pipeWhat's full and holds more
A pot of potatoes when you pour in waterWhat goes round the wood and never gets in to the wood
The bark of the treeIts black and its white and its "read" all over
The news paperI have a little tub and it's full of meat every day but Sunday
A thimbleWhy does a hen pick the pot
Because she cannot lick itWhy does a cow look over the ditch(continues on next page)- Collector
