Umm, lessee, Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Snorri, Doc, Happy and Lumpy?


For those who can't remember:
Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Doc, Happy, Bashful and Dopey!

Now lets all sing: Hi, Ho! Hi, Ho! It's off to work we go!

I saw a bumper sticker once that said "I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go..."

Other numbers:
Six-pack Said of an employee, "Has the full 6-pack but lacks the plastic thingy to hold it all together"
Dirty Dozen
Magnificent Seven/Seven Samurai [such fabulous movies!]

One for sorrow, two for mirth,
Three for a wedding, four for a birth,
Five for silver, six for gold,
Seven for a secret not to be told.
Eight for heaven, nine for hell,
And ten for the devil's own sel'.

Anyone remember what they were?

I SAW THAT MAGPIE

An intiguing creature
with a human weakness
a strange love
of baubles, trinkets
things that sparkle
yet have no use

strange, a bird
should feel this pull,
wings, nuzzled
by friendly zephyrs,
fat worms writhing
in the good green sod
primal instincts-
food, love
surpassed
by the dancing of light
through splintered glass

I ssaw that magpie
infamous
flinty-eyed
hatchet-faced
B-movie thug of a bird
mean-gaited
black switchblade wings
cocky

I saw that magpie
survivor
lover,
of food that wriggles
of light that prisms
little napoleon
tiny bohemian

he eyed me quizzically
he left haughtily
there was something he just had to see.
