One for sorrow, two for mirth, Three for a wedding, four for a birth, Five for silver, six for gold, Seven for a secret not to be told. Eight for heaven, nine for hell, And ten for the devil's own sel'.
Or more commonly:
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; Eight for a wish, nine for a kiss; Ten for a bird that's best to miss.
I just love these Joee! And this poem I know for magpies, except it goes One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy like Nancy says :) Brilliant work!

There's always one that's just gotta stand out.
Fabulous crows! Is the poem taken from a Counting Crows song? Tricky! I haven't heard that song in years. I'll have to dig that cd out.
