- Betty inside the ditch,
Betty outside the ditch,
if you will touch Betty
She will bite you,
A nettle.
A little white lady
and she eating herself,
A candle.
What part of a cow
goes over the ditch first?
Her breath.

but never eaten.
A pack of cards.
What walks with
it's head down.
The nails of your boots.(continues on next page)
