- Why does a hen cross the road?
To get to the other side.
Why does a hen pick the pot?
Because she can't lick it.
Under the fire over the fire but never touches the fire.
What is it?
A cake in the oven.
What has two eyes, a mouth.
A crosur.
Twenty sick sheep went out a gap. One died how many came back.
