Song I wrote today - 9th April 2010.....

In case you wonder what I'm on about here be the Magpie rhyme:

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told.

Seven Magpies on my shoulder,
Make a squawk with every heave,
When I go to sleep I wonder,
If and when they'll leave.

Seven Magpies in my small corner,
Looking like they're here to stay,
I wish you would snap your fingers,
Make them fly away.

Like a scene in a Hitchcock movie,
Seven Magpies fill my tree,
If you came and said you loved me,
You would set me free.
