Three Magpies a Wedding Watched
To Geraldine & Joe, on the occasion of their wedding!
There is an old Irish tradition that three magpies at a wedding signify luck. If not seen, it is said they were there anyway!
Three magpies in trees sat watch
By all unseen as they tied the knot
Three magpies to each other sang
As in the air the bell peals rang.
Three magpies to your marriage luck will bring
And joys to come, and everything!
