Thirty white horses upon a red hill,
Now they tramp, now they champ,
Now they stand still.
What are they?
Little Nanny Etticoat
In a white petticoat,
And a red nose;
The longer she stands
The shorter she grows.
What is she?
Lives in the winter,
Dies in the summer,
And grows with its roots upwards!
What is it?
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, wives -
How many were going to St. Ives?
It has a head like a cat, feet like a cat,
A tail like a cat, but it isn't a cat .
What is it?
