Blackbirds In A Pie


Based on the nursery rhyme "Blackbirds In A Pie/ Sing A Song Of Six Pence":

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!


This work is a relief portrying that very scene of the blackbirds flying out of the pie that I remember from my childhood. :)
