- (continued from previous page)If you fell off a house what would you fall against?
Your will.
It's black and white and read all over?
A newspaper.
A beautiful maiden in a garden was laden as fair as the flowers in the morning the first day of her life she became a wife and died (?) before she was born.
Eve.
As round as an apply as plump as a ball can climb the church over steeple and all?
The sun.
What is it that always walks with its head down?
A nail in your boot.
A room a groom-ful and could not catch a spoonful
Smoke.
A flock of sheep on a red hill here they go there
they go now they stand still?
Your teeth
It goes 'round the house round the house and sleeps in the corner at night?
A brush.
