There was a young lady rode into town,
Silk an’ satin was her gown.
Silk an’ satin, gold an’ velvet,
Guess her name, three times I’ve tell’d it.
Anne
Little Nancy Etticoat
In a white petticoat
And a red nose.
The longer she stands,
The shorter she grows.
A candle
What word starts with an E, ends with an E and usually contains one letter?
Envelope
What’s black when you get it, red when you use it, and white when you’re all through with it?
Charcoal
Three lives have I.
Gentle enough to soothe the skin,
Light enough to caress the sky,
Hard enough to crack rocks.
Water
We are very little creatures;
All of us have different features.
One of us in glass is set;
One of us you’ll find in jet.
Another you may see in tin,
And a fourth is boxed within.
If the fifth you should pursue,
it can never fly from you.
The vowels A,E,I,O, and U.
Weight in my belly,
Trees on my back,
Nails in my ribs,
Feet I do lack.
A ship
Lovely and round,
I shine with pale light,
grown in the darkness,
A lady’s delight.
