Old Mother Twitchet Had One Eye
Old Mother Twitchet had one eye
and a long tail that she let fly.
And every time she went through a gap,
she left some tail in the trap
A needle and thread.
Not a Bird Though Feathered
It’s not a bird, though feathered, and
it has a mobile nest.
It’s quick in flight and, having flown,
it always stops to rest.
An arrow. It has feathers and its nest (a quiver) is usually carried an archer’s back. The arrow flies when released, but will always land somewhere to rest.

Speaks Without Words
What is it that speaks without any words?
And can be loudly and distinctly heard?

And is enough to make a stolid man’s face alight?
Flatulence.
When Set Loose I Fly Away
When set loose
I fly away,
Never so cursed
As when I go astray.
A fart.
