Tell that to the marines.

- Nelly! You haven't left any mince pies.
- I haven't taken, Mammy.
____________________- Who's then?
_______________________________- Magpies!
- Please, tell that to the marines, Nell.
When you take something you always tell
About very cunning birds. Yesterday
Starlings took away plums. Last Saturday
You told about candies and sparrows.
Last Friday...
____________- What sparrows? Crows!
- Well, crows.
___________- But I've told the truth.
This time two magpies flew in through
The window and...
________________- Why did you let them
Fly in and out with pies?
____________________- When
They saw me they left in double-quick
Time.
______- What magpies! Have you heard, Nick?
- Yes, and they didn't leave even one pie.
Fantastic! They've flown away, all the five
Pies! Invent something new for a change
As 'two birds with five pies' sounds strange.
