- What is smaller than a midges mouth.
The bit that goes in to it.
A room full a house full and can not catch a spoon full.
Smoke.
Flies high flies low wears boots and has non
A foot ball.
Up and down and still never tips the sky nor the groung.
The handle of a pump.
Dead in the middle and alive at both ends.
A plough.
As I went out in a gap I met my uncle dean I cut off his head and sucked his blood and I left him lying easy.
A bee.
When does a man impose upon himself
When he taxes his memory.
What couloured letters do we eat.
Green peas.
Why is the sun like a good loaf.
Because it is light when it rises.
Why are pretty women unlike dogs.
The show their teeth and dont bite.
Why is your nose in the middle of your face
It is the scenter.
What insect lives on nothing
A mouth because it eats holes.(continues on next page)
