- (continued from previous page)men seek me until they are tired. I tired their horses, comfort man so riddle me that if you can?
Coal.I had a little red cow and she sits by the wall. She eats all I give her and drinks nothing at all.
A fire.Full of the field of white cows. One big red cow inside in the middle of them.
All of your teeth and your tongue. What would go from here to Dublin without stopping.
A road.Why are all soldiers tired on April 1st?
Because they had a March of 31 days.Why is a grand lady like a brave soldier?
Because one powders the face and the other faces the powder.What is it that wants nor nobody wants to lose.
A suit.what is rounder than a ring.
A globe.What is higher than a tree?
Heaven.What is deeper than the sea?
Hell.What cream is never nasty?(continues on next page)
