No, not a typo, an allusion to an old folk song.
But thanks for looking out for me, and for the invitation and the welcome. *smooch*
"There were twa corbies three ravens sat on a tree.
Down a down hey down a down...." *
which is derived from this, I think:

*And now I think about it, it was the poem I was remembering and NOT the song, which actually has three ravens sitting on the triee, down a down etc. Ah well, it's just an April Fools hangover.
