Speaking of "we've done this one before"... ;)

♫  ♪  ♫  ♪  ♫  ♪  ♫

Mares eat oats
And does eat oats
And little lambs...


♫  ♪  ♫  ♪  ♫  ♪  ♫

I can't remember now, but I'll guess they "eat oats too".


(IIRC, it's something like "mairzy dotes and dozey dotes and" so on, don't remember the spelling without Googling it)

I think I guess this one last time.  My mom used to sing that.  Not sure anyone else will get it, but I don't have another riddle, so I'll pass for now :)

you may have heard this one already but oh wellz ;p.

Four men sat down to play,
They played all night 'till break of day.
They played for gold and not for fun
With separate scores for everyone.
When they came to square accounts,
They all had made quite fair amounts.
Can you the paradox explain,
If no one lost, how could all gain?

Clearly the gold they began with appreciated due to inflation in the market.
