  1. (continued from previous page)
    all I give her but drinks none at all? The fire.
    As round as an apple as plump as a ball can climb over the church over steeple and all. The sun.
    Why do you go to bed? Because the bed would not come to you.
    As I went up Tara hill I met my uncle Davy, I split his head and cut his throath and left him lying easy? A blackberry.
    It opens like a barn door it shuts like a trap many a thing you would think of but you couldn't think of that. An umbrella.
    I ran till I got it and when I got it I sat down to look for it when I couldn't get it I ran home with it? A thorn in your foot.
