LIVE BLACKBIRDS???

Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,

Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.

When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,

Oh wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?

The king was in his counting house counting out his money,

The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey

The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,

When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!

Moral of the story, don't be a minor character in an 18th century nursery rhyme.

more like don't be a poor person in an 18th century nursery rhyme.

For entertainment purposes. The birds would fly out when the dish was uncovered.
