    As I went up the lane
    I met my uncle Davie
    I cut off his head and sucked his blood
    And left him lying easy.
    A blackberry
    Long legs short thighs, little head and no eyes
    Tongs.
    There is a little red cow tied to the wall
    She would eat all the hay from this to Donegal.
    The fire.
    What leaves a rag on every bush?
    The snow.
    Patch upon patch without any stitches.
    A head of cabbage
