RIDDLES. 149

CCXXXIII.

I HAVE a little sister, they call her peep, peep;
She wades the waters deep, deep, deep;
She climbs the mountains high, high, high;
Poor little creature! she has but one eye.
A star,

WHAT shoemaker makes shoes without leather,
With all the four elements put together?
Fire and water, earth and air;
Evcry customer has two pair.
A. torse-shoer.

HICK-A-MORE, Hack-a-more,
On the King’s kitchen-door ;
All the King’s horses,
And all the King’s men,
Couldn’t drive Hick-a-more, Hack-a-more,
Off the King’s kitchen-door!
Sunshine.

CCXXXVI.

OLD Mother Twitchett had but one eye,
And a long tail which she let fly ;

And every time she went over a gap,
She left a bit of her tail in a trap.

A needle and thread.
