Tell me this riddle if you can?
I had a little hen, the prettiest ever seen, She washed me the dishes, and kept the house clean: She went to the mill to fetch me some flour, She brought it home in less than an hour; She baked me my bread, she brew'd me my ale, She sat by the fire and told many a fine tale. Bat Bat (clap hands) come under my hat, And I'll give you a slice of bacon; And when I bake, I'll give you a cake If I am not mistaken. There was an old woman of Leeds; Who spent all her time in good deeds; She worked for the poor Till her finger were sore, This pious old woman of Leeds! Little Tommy Tittlemouse lived in a little house; He caught fishes in other men's dishes. As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives; Every wife had seven sacks; Every sack had seven cats; Every cat had seven kits. Kits, cats, sacks and wives, How many were there going to St. Ives? |
