    (continued from previous page)
    like a rat you may be guessing for ever
    But you will not guess that
    (a pipe)
    Under water I do travel,
    Over board I do stand,
    I rode a mare that never foaled
    With the bridle in my hand
    (a ship)
    Why is a fishing rod like a Railway station?
    (it is no good without a line.)
    What is half the moon like?
    (like the other side.)
