Description of a Cow
                   by a Cockney Evacuee
                  October 1939.

The cow is a mammal.It has six sides:right,left,upper & below.
At the back it has a tail,on which hangs a brush.With this it sends flies away so they do not fall into the milk.
The head is for the purpose of growing horns and so the mouth can be somewhere.The horns are to butt with and the mouth is to moo with.
Under the cow hangs the milk.It is arranged for milking.When people milk the milk comes and there is never an end to the supply.
How the cow does it I have not realised but it makes more and more
The cow has a fine sense of smell;one can smell it far away.This is the reason for the fresh air in the country.
The man cow is called an ox.It is not a mammal.
The cow does not eat much,but what it eats it eats twice so it gets enough.When it is hungry it moos and when it says nothing it is because it is all filled up with grass.

"But perhaps anyone looking on Google for electrical conduits - deserves what they get? *Smiles*"

What a shocking thing to say . . . .

One of my favourite descriptions was 'a silk sock full of jelly' - a description of a ferret.

The riddle in the first post appears in The Hobbit - to which the answer is fish.

But I have no idea why such a search would have produced this riddle............

Can't remember anything about the others, but the riddle was unusul and impressive

No but I'll go and see them when I get back to England in the summer. What do people think of them? and what are the smaller works?

Didn't mean to do that, but since I have, have you seen the riddle sculpture in Exeter.

Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.

Came across this whilst Googleing "electrical conduit" weird or what?
