Co. Roscommon - Why does a hen pick a pot.
Because she cannot lick it.Under the fire and over and never touches the fire.
A cake in an oven.Through the wood and through the wood and never touches the wood.

A clock.Why is a telegraph pole like a dose of castor oil.
Because one is hard to get up and the other is hard to get down.(continues on next page)- Collector
