Do not count the eggs before they are hatch?

some authorities say it was aesop the fabulous who said it first


& others chicken little
who said the sky is falling too


but still others say it was humpty dumpty
of great fall fame himself
& who by some accounts preceded even chicken little by a little


however what was actually said was
dont count your blessings instead of sheep


& all agree it was little bo peep who said that


moreover it is poor advice
since she lost them
