Shave a Pig

Barber, barber, shave a pig,
How many hairs will make a wig?
“Four and twenty, that’s enough,”
Give the barber a pinch of snuff.

Tongs

LONG legs, crooked thighs,
Little head, and no eyes.

Going to St. Ives

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 there going to St. Ives?
