The magpie rhyme???

[123animal123]

I know it as:

One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret never to be told

I was watching coronation street today and one of the charaters said it goes:

One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a letter
Four for a boy
Five for a wish
Six for a kiss
Seven for something better than this
Eight for silver
Nine for gold
Ten for a secret never to be told

I was just wondering if anybody knows any other magpie rhymes? Theres probably loads lol

I think there is one that goes up to 11 but i'm not sure

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Magpie#The_Magpie_rhyme this one lists 4 versions

[mash]

There are so many different versions of that rhym. Some kinda overlap with others. But here's sneezing rhym if you're interested

One sneeze a kiss
Two a wish come true
Three a love letter
Four for something better

or

Sneeze on a Monday sneeze for danger
Sneeze on a tuesday, kiss a stranger
Sneeze on a Wednesday recieve a letter
Sneeze on a Thursday for something better
Sneeze on a Friday Sneeze for sorrow
Sneeze on a Saturday see your beloved tomorrow
Sneeze on a Sunday, you're safety seek
Bad luck will dog you the rest of the week.
