Counting Crows

Yesterday morning as I left my house, I was greeted by the cry of three crows which fluttered in circles just above the snow-dusted branches of the Maple tree across the street. I couldn't decide whether this was an omen or just a picture-perfect Canadian Tuesday morning, so I left it all to rhyme and no reason.

One for sadness, two for mirth;
Three for marriage, four for birth;
Five for laughing, six for crying
;
Seven for sickness, eight for dying;

Nine for silver, ten for gold;

Eleven a secret that will never be told.
