So if Monday portends
When the work week begins
What day, then, is week’s end?
Sunday, Gregorian’s
Calendar does amend,
Is when the week begins,
And Saturday its end.
But…Monday work begins
So, Friday’s end’s pretend?
Have a good “weekend” y’all.
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).
