- (continued from previous page)What can you take from six and have nine you’re answer (s-ix) s.A white cow and a red cow, and the white cow jumping over the red cow. (Tongue and Teeth)Stiff standing in a bed,
When its in season,
When its out, its like a clout
Slippy soft and greezy.
Cabbage.It’s the beginning of eternity,
The end of time and space
The beginning of the end
And the end of every place
(e).What never was, and never will be
Look at your hand and you will plainly see.
-You’re little finger as long as the others.As round as an apple, as flat as a pan
On one side a woman and on the other a man
- A Penny.Its long and its narrow, and not very wide.
And has a green selvedge on every side
A road.What keeps its hands on its face all the day – a Clock.What hangs and bears and never blossoms.
A crook.
