- (continued from previous page)As I went a puddle gap I met my uncle Davy with iron nose and timber toes and upon my word he would frighten the crows. A gun.
If you get up on an ass where would you get down? On a gooses back.
Black and white and read all over. A paper.
Four little bottles on the side of a hill if they were there forever they would never spill. A cow's udder.
What is it that is as light as a feather and yet no man can lift it? His shadow.
How many sticks go to build a crow's nest? None, they are all carried.
How many thorns in an acre of furze? One and all the rest. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
