Two legs sat upon three legs,
With one leg in his lap;
In comes four legs
And runs away with one leg;
Up jumps two legs,
Catches up three legs,
Throws it after four legs,
And makes him drop one leg.

What are we?

A man, a stool, a leg of mutton, and a dog.

Still thinking. I won't give up. And I'm sure Brigid will have some interesting thoughts as well. speachless

Here's one especially for you Patricia! Careful!  Shocked


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 going to St. Ives?

Only one!

The worst part about this is that I've read this one before, but for the life of me can't remember the answer now.. And I'll be beginning school soon. Roll Eyes
