GARDEN RIDDLES.
Why is a tree always polite?—Because it has boughs (bows). Why is a garden like a deliberately unkind remark ?—Because there is offence (a fence) at the back of it. What is pollen?—What BB (X) (bees seize). How many letters of the alphabet can you find in the garden?—B (bee), P (pea), U (you.) Why is the Union Jack flying at the bottom of the garden on the King’s birthday like an elected Member of Parliament?—Because they are both at the top of the pole (poll).. What garden path is silly!—A crazy path. Why is a rose tree in spring like a highwayman ?—Because it shoots.
