Apologies to Monday

Apologies to Monday

A Poem by Rita L. Sev
"

I think I upset her...

"

Hey Monday, are you serious?

You’re no one’s favorite day;

you only make it worse

when you show up wearing grey.

 

Why can’t you be like Friday was,

dressed in her finest blue?

No wonder we all grumble

at the mere mention of you!

 

Now Monday has hurt feelings

and she can only weep

so I am quite remorseful,

her tears rise up knee-deep.

Poor Monday. :(
'Tis a pity thou art shunned.
But if it be of comfort, i say...
I simply LOVE thee on vacations! ^_^
For thou mayest stand on a par with Friday
once our bustlings lie forgotten.

Thank you for this Rita...i'm sure Monday is no longer mad at us...for now. ;) hehe

yes...MONDAYS

Always a bad press for that day

great idea for a poem though

I think the last line should be Her tears rise up knee deep, though..it rolls a bit better...Maybe just ME though.....Enjoyed it

I enjoyed this poem very much with its rhyme and quatrain structure. It inspire me to quickly write this tiny mono-rhyme gift poem for you which you may keep as your own since I used your ideas in this poem to such a degree: It's in /0/0/0/ seven syllable meter:

Monday

Monday's such a somber bloke
in his monochromic cloak.
He won't laugh, nor will he joke.
He's the dread of working folk.

Take care that you never choke
on his early morning yoke
when he goads you with a poke
unless his alarm clock's broke.
