    28. As I looked through my Willie Winkers
    I say the dead hurrying the live.
    Raking the fire.
    29. I have a little red bull
    Standing against the wall
    And he'd eat all the fodder
    From here to Donegal.
    A fire
    30. Who was the first whistler and what was his tune?
    The Wind - "Over the hills and far away."
    31. Little Jinny Huddle
    She sits in a puddle
    With a green gown and white petticoat
    Clump of rushes
    32. Chip, chip, cherry, all the men in Derry
    Couldn't climb chip, chip, cherry.
    Smoke in Chimney
    33. Six by three is my degree

    Reverse my name and you will see
    That 40 perches make me.
    Door.
