"One for sorrow, two for joy,"

I hear the children chanting.

He sits beside me smirking,

a look that I find irking,

as he takes, without first asking,

a piece of precious gold.

"Three for a girl, four for a boy."

He and I fly together.

He swoops and steals another

coin or ring to plunder,

but I'll follow him wherever.

My Magpie and I.
