- (continued from previous page)Three feet and no legs ?
A yardAs I looked out my grandfathers window, I saw a ship and it was full of people, but there was not a single one it.
They were all married.I went out between two woods and I came back between two waters.
A man carrying two pails of water.I know a little house.it would not hold a mouse, and it has as many windows as the Lord Mayor's house.
A thimble.Black and white and read all over.
A newspaperAs round as an apple,as plump as a ball,can climb the church, over steeple and all.
The sun.What is it that always walks with it's head down ?
A nail in your boot.What is it that goes away above the ground and returns under it?
A man with sods on his head.Hink-hank under a bank,ten drawing four.
A woman milking a cow.What bow can no one tie?
The rainbow.
