    Head like a thimble, tail like a rat you may guess for ever but you would never guess that. A pipe.
    As round as an apple as flat as a pan one side a woman and the other a man. A Penny.

    One half dead, the other half living and a tail wagging. A dog with his head in a pot.
    Patches upon a patch without any stitches. Riddle me that and I'll buy you a pair of breeches. A cabbage.
    As round as an apple as flat as a pan one side a woman and the other a man.
