It should read: Fall through thin ice? its a little bit wrong, Or before some hard labor for mother? The levee did this in the name of one song, And I heard it weren't this in another That was fun and a little different type of puzzle for me. Thanks for playing!

That was fun and a little different type of puzzle for me. Thanks for playing! Woot! It was mostly the riddle hint that got me the 2nd word. I honestly couldn't remember if the answer was a real word or not since I hadn't heard or seen it in such a long time. It was quite fun!
