as well as:

What kind of food is a watchman's beat?
      Does the old hen sing her lay?
Did you ever see a poem trip with its feet?
      What kind of notes does the banker play?

Is Father Time a thief if he steals the hours away?
      Did you ever see a tinker mend the break of day?

Does a ship have eyes when it goes to sea?
      When does a river lose its head?
Does the "jolly tar" ooze from a tree?
      Are there any springs to the ocean's bed?

Will a blacksmith's vise make him lose his soul?
      Who can shingle a watershed?
To whom does the church bell pay its toll?
      Can a book be black and white and read?

Can a haul of fish for a fish ball be hired?
      Is a mountain climb like May?
Will a foreign clime make anyone tired?
      Can a donkey be fed on a brae?
