So, I've arrived at the end of my seven magpies. But I'm having so much fun and loving this
series, that I want to do more! Extended versions of the rhyme are
more rare, and you don't usually hear past 7. So now I'm trying to decide
which of these to go with:
Eight for heaven, nine for hell,
And ten for the devil's own sel'.
or
eight for a wish,
nine for a kiss,
ten for a time
of joyous bliss.
Very different imagery to go with one or the other.
