Avian - Color Theory

How is your wife today

Mr. General?

Off to the front to lead

Another battle

One for sorrow

Two for joy

Three for a girl

Four for a boy

Five for silver

Six for gold

Six for gold

Seven for a secret

Never to be told

Eight for a wish

Nine for a kiss

Ten for a bird

You must not miss

Avian Grim Reaper

White with a black necktie

Good morning, Mr. Magpie

Seen on a windowsill

Death is pending

Pay him his due respects

Or risk offending

One for sorrow

Two for joy

Three for a girl

Four for a boy

Five for silver

Six for gold

Six for gold

Seven for a secret

Never to be told

Eight for a wish

Nine for a kiss

Ten for a bird

You must not miss

Bane of the gamekeeper

Mischievous and flighty

Acting high and mighty

Call out politely

Avian Grim Reaper

White with a black necktie

Good morning, Mr. Magpie

Birds of a feather rise

And swarm like mayflies

Cawing their battle cries

To blot the sunrise

Wreath for a fallen friend

A blackbird funeral

Requiem on the grass

Of their cathedral

Bane of the gamekeeper

Mischievous and flighty

Acting high and mighty

Call out politely

Avian Grim Reaper

White with a black necktie

Good morning, Mr. Magpie

(Six for gold)
