- (continued from previous page)8 The Man who made it would not wear it
And the man who wore it didnt know he was wearing it.
(A Coffin)9 What is black and white
And hops along the road like hailstones?
(A Magpie10 Hangs and bears and never blossoms
Pot-hangers11 Up on it he got

(Birds made a nest in a man's skull)
