Oh Mr Magpie

Why do you follow me so

To bring me your tales,

Your stories of sorrow?

.

Are you looking for a mate

To adventure with?

One you can relate,

And to bring joy.

.

I can tell you of the past,

Of what I know.

Perhaps can you help megirl who is lost out here.

.

Are you trying to alert me,

On what’s ahead?

Are you the omen they say you are?

Oh, boy! Enough said.

.

You are all here now.

Up to mischief.

Making looking for something shiny,

Silver spoon in a cradle, maybe?

.

Seeing you all interact,

In sync with each other,

You have a new route,

And going for the gold.

.

As you fly away, I stare in awe,

A new story awaits.

The look says it all,

It's a secret, one never to be told.
