Ode to the Magpie

On my morning errands I came across these pretty corvids, six of them, no less. According to legend, if you see six, it means luck in obtaining a particular precious metal. Excellent! So inspired, I wrote a rhyme:

“Picas picas are gathered six,

What at the ground do they incessantly pick(a)?

Magpies might tell if I were to be bold

I hear a rumour they may have found gold…”

The End.
