Under the fire and over the fire and never touches the fire. A cake in an oven. Spell black water in three letters. Ink. What happened to the baby that swallowed the spoon. It could not stir. As round as an Apple, as flat as a pan one side a woman and the other side a man. A penny. Black and white and read all over. Ireland's own. I have a little sister she sits on the wall. She drinks all she gets and she eats none at all. A lamp. Around the house, around the house and sleeps in a corner. A sweeping brush.
