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


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

A needle and thread.




If you touch Hitty Pitty,
Hitty Pitty will bite you.

A nettle.




Twelve pears hanging high,
Twelve knights riding by;
Each knight took a pear,
And left eleven hanging there.
