Does our longing for Fridays
Shorten the other weekdays?

Alas, it prolongs the days;
Nothing short about Mondays

Nor the longness of Tuesdays
Nor cut short on the Hump Days

But to elongate Thursdays
Means shortening our Fridays

And we’ve long known that Fridays
Ain’t been shortened for no days

(Well, not counting Saturdays
and, of course, restful Sundays).
