One for sorrow, two for joy.

How they got off that lightly, i'll never know.
Welcome back Pards, hoped you enjoyed your stay.

 

Three for a girl and four for a boy
Five for silver, six for gold
Seven for a secret never to be told
Eight's a wish and nine a kiss
Ten is a bird you must not miss.

Always liked the Magpie song.

 

Bleeding 'orrid nasty birds. I always throw stones at 'em.

 

I touch my cap to em, and say "Good morning Mr magpie." Seems to work (it certainly did yesterday).

The birdie song. Lacked a little something I always felt.
