Oh the magpie brings us tidings
Of news both fair and fowl
She's more cunning than the raven
More wise than any owl
For she brings us news of the harvest
Of the barley we done called
And she knows when we'll go to our graves
And how we shall be born
One's for sorrow
Two's for joy
Three's for a girl
and
Four's for a boy
Five's for silver
Six for gold
Seven's for a secret never told

Be careful please. Hugs
Magpie is not appreciated this much here, but its habit to steel silver is has been said;)
Thoughts giving entry.
Magpies are said to be very clever and have a penchant for shiny objects. I've had a few friends who fit that description as well! This is such a lovely homage to magpies!
