- (continued from previous page)A head of cabbage.
7 What walks with its head down?
A nail in your boot
8
What's full but holds more?
A pot of potatoes when you pour water in
9 Its left on the table and its cut on the table but never eaten?
A pack of cards.
10 Londonderry, Cork and Kerry spell me that without an O.?
That
11 Over the fire and under the fire but never touches the fire?
A cake in an oven.
12. A head like a thimble, a tail like a rat.
You may guess for ever but you wouldn't guess that?
A pipe.
