Rhymes
- I have cities but no houses,
and forests but no trees.
I have rivers without water,
and no ships but many seas. What am I?
- I have fingers and a thumb,
but I'm neither flesh nor bone.
I may be small or large,
and I'm seldom seen alone. What am I?
- I have ten men's length,
and two men's strength.
But ten men can't break me,
and a small boy can carry me. What am I?
- I'm as big as a teapot,
and deep as a cup,
But the Ohio River can't fill me up. What am I?
- I often murmur,
but I never weep.
I lie in my bed,
but I never sleep.
My mouth is larger than my head,
But in spite of that, I'm never fed.
I have no feet, but I swiftly run.
The more falls I have,
the faster I move on. What am I?
- 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? -
