Čížečku, čížečku ("Siskin, o Little Siskin") is a traditional Czech children's folk song and a singing game which was performed in the past as an annual custom supposed to enhance the yield of poppy.〔Antonín Václavík, "Výroční obyčeje a lidové umění", Československé akademie věd (Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences), 1959, (p. 67 )〕 The song is a chain of verses of the same pattern of call and response: :''Call:'' :"Siskin, o little Siskin, a little birdie, :Tell me o Siskin how the poppy is sowed" :''Response:'' :This is how the poppies are sowed (repeated, with variations) In Czech language: : Čížečku, čížečku, ptáčku maličký, :pověz mi čížečku, jak sejou mák? ::Aj tak, tak sejou mák, aj tak, tak sejou mák, ::aj tak, tak sejou mák, tak sejou mák. The call/response are repeated, with the verb "sowed" being replaced with other events with the poppies: "grows", "blossoms", "is harvested", "is milled" (option: "crushed"), "is eaten". With every response the children are supposed to show a pantomime how exactly the poppy is sowed, grows,..., eaten. It may also be arranged in the form of a dance.〔(Tanečky: #20.
