- Hoddy - doddy, with a round black body,
And a big flat hat, what is that.
(A pot.)
A flock of white sheep, on a red hill,
Here they got there go now they stand.
Teeth in your gums
Riddle me, riddle me, what is that, over the head and under the hat
The hair of the head
Why is there never a full day.
Because it begins by breaking.- Collector

- Sneeze on Monday, sneeze for danger,
Sneeze on Tuesday, you will kiss a stranger,
Sneeze on Wednesday sneeze for a letter,
Sneeze on Thursday, for something better,
Sneeze on Friday, sneeze for sorrow.
Sneeze on Saturday, money to borrow,
Sneeze on Sunday, safety seek for the Devil will have you for the rest of week.
