- Headed like a thimble,
Tailed like a rat
You may guess for ever
But you could not guess that?
A pipe.
What goes away above the ground and returns under it?
A man with sods on his head.
Middy noddy round body,
Three feet and a wooden hat.
A pot.
What is it always walks with its head down?
A nail in your boot.
What's full and holds more?
A pot full of potatoes when you pour water in.
I have a web of checker
Neither wrought or spun
It would cover all the world
But the water and the sun?
Dew.
One half dead, the other half living and a tail wagging.(continues on next page)- Collector
