What sleeps with its finger in its mouth?
A crook
Blackie and Whities went up the hill, Blackie came down and Whitie stood still?
A hen and an egg.
Chip Chip Cherry all the men in Derry could not put Chip chip together again?
A broken egg.
What stands on one leg with its heart in its head? A cabbage head.
Four little bottles standing on a hill, four turned up and none of them spill?
A cows teats.
Patch upon Patch without any stitches
riddle me that and I will buy you a pair of britches? A cabbage head.- Collector
