Wrong Day.

Wrong Day.

A Poem by Paul Bell

What’s wrong, you look like thunder.

It’s those two birds I’m going out with, Tuesday and Thursday.

What’s the problem, get the days mixed up.

No, I call them Tuesday and Thursday, I take them out Friday and Saturday.

You do lead a strange life, so what’s the problem.

The problem is Tuesday, she wants to go out on Saturday.

Well, why don’t you take Tuesday out on Saturday afternoon, leaving you free to take
Thursday out on Saturday night.

My god, that’s genius, that’s what I’ll do.

# Monday morning

So how did your weekend go.

Aw man, what a disaster, took Tuesday to the bowling in the afternoon, totally forgot Friday worked there.

Wow there, who the hell is Friday.

She was casual.

So what happened.

She phoned Thursday that’s what happened.

Oh, sounds painful.

No, the painful part was when the wife turned up.

Oops, bet you were wondering what day it was, can I see the film.

Get you a copy later, now I’m forced to stay with Monday for a while.

What did the wife say? 

She wasn't my wife but Wednesday's
Wednesday is married to a woman? 

Yeah, she's a little freaky. So there I was with Tuesday, Wednesday's wife, Thursday on the way and Friday in my face about Thursday.

I love it. I have to admit, I had to read it twice to really get it. That just made my day. Very nice writing!

Do you think he's learned his lesson.

No I don't think he has learned his lesson!
Your love life is clearly much too complicated--and, frankly, unworkable.
Though having so many women to shuffle might, in some circles, be considered a blessing, of sorts.
Most entertaining piece of work, Paul!

Just wondering why they dumped me. lol
Your imagination never ceases to amaze me! I've lived thru a similar situation, without the bizarre naming convention. Might this be a spoof on all those blokes who date so many different women at the same time, that it's impossible to keep everything on the up & up? It's a time-worn story, but only YOU could tell it in the most unexpected ways! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
