A sad thing about our society today is that probably no one under the age of 35 would have a clue as to what that means.
Yep my great granny taught us all the old rhymes like the kittens who lost their mittens.
I am way over 35 and I have no idea what ir means. By the way it is exactly 41.6 degrees right now. Odd?
Blackbirds In a Pie
Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,
Oh wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before the king?
The king was in his counting house counting out his money,
The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!

Do you want to let us in on the secret?
I’m right around your cutoff age but was able to reverse engineer what TS was talking about with a calculator and Google.
My daughter didn’t.
