As round as an apple as deep as a cup and all the king's horses couldn't draw it up.
A wellAs I was going to the fair of Ives I met six men and there wives. The men had six bags, and in the bags were six cats. How many were going to the fair of Ives.
OneAs round as an apple as plump as a ball. Can climb over church, steeple and all.
The sunWhat's it that goes round all day with its head down?
A nail in your bootAs round as an apple as flat as a pan, one side a woman the other side a man.
A pennyWhat's smaller than a midgets eye?
The dust that goes in it.Give it butter it will cry, give it water it will die
