One For Sorrow, Two For Joy...
"One for sorrow,
two for joy,
three for a girl,
four for a boy,
five for silver,
six for gold,
seven for a story, never to be told"
Yes, I know,
That's how it's supposed to be,
but what if you get eight?
Is it "Eight for the desperate girl,
and nine for the boy looking ready to hurl?"
If you get ten,
ooh, that's deep,
do you get somwhere between silver and gold,
or do you get platinum?
And if you get fourteen,
'cause I like that number,
do you get your story told?
