4 and 20 Blackbirds

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thought there was a funny burning smell? Four and twenty cherries baked in a fruit pie. When the pie was opened it was found to be a lie. There were 4 and 20 blackbirds, made yell! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cyprus, bottled songbirds, that's yuck in more ways than one, not a dainty dish to set before a king. ;-) Mick
