- The man that made it never wore it and the man that wore it never saw it
A coffin. I is black tis white and it hops on the ground like hailstone
A magpie.Its here tis there 'tis everywhere,
Its over in castle garden,
It takes a bite as big as a horse.
And after all it eats no grass.
ScytheIts as round as a marble and flat like a pan half a woman and all a man
pennyLong legs crooked thighs a big head and no eyes.
