    As round as an apple,
    As deep as a pail,
    It never cries out
    Till tis caught by the tail
    A Bell.
    As round as an apple
    As deep as a cup
    And all the King's horses
    Wouldn't pull it up.
    A Well.
    Ink ank under bank
    Ten drawin' four.
    Woman milking a cow.
    Little Miss Muffet dressed in white

    A Candle
    What falls without ever tipping the ground
    The Night
    What King in English history wore the largest hat
    The one with the biggest head
    What has ear and cannot hear
