Told by Mrs Morrison Abbey Lodge Clonsilla Co Dublin Written by her daughter Eileen aged 12. It's black it's white and it's read all over. A paper. What's the difference between a soldier and a lady. The soldier faces the powder and the lady powders the face. What part of a cat gets into a hole the first. Its whiskers. What is the shyest thing in a house. The clock because it always has its hands on its face. Why is a donkey like a stamp. Because one goes on with a stick and the other goes on with a lick. Why is a lady's jumper like a banana skin. Because it's easy to slip on. What side of a cup is the handle on. The outside. Twenty sick sheep went out a gap, one fell dead and how many came back. None. There's six pigeons on a gate a shot from my gun
