- (continued from previous page)What goes round the wood, but never gets into the wood.
The bark of a tree.What is it always walks with its head down.?
A nail in your boot.What is the shyest thing in the house?
A clock.Why does the sea get angry?
Because it is crossed so often.Why is the letter K like a pig's tail?
Because it is at the end of pork.What is it that never was, or never will be,
Look at your finger and you plainly will see?
Your little finger will never be as long as the others. Tis in the car, tis not wanted in the car, and the car could not go without it.
Noise.
