there’s this ancient rhyme that goes like this:
Monday’s child is fair of face;
Tuesday’s child is full of grace;
Wednesday’s child is full of woe;
Thursday’s child has far to go;
Friday’s child is loving and giving;
Saturday’s child works hard for a living.
But the child that is born on the Sabbath day is fair and wise, good and gay.
hmmmm let’s talk about Sunday’s child. i’m guessing this was back when gay meant happy and skippy, as opposed to now when it means having great taste in clothes and music.
‘far to go’. what the fuck does that mean? it’s bad enough this week has dragged on for an aeon, does the stupid poem really have to remind me that it’s not quite friday yet.
i think it should be:
Thursday’s child get’s tea and biscuits.
although that doesn’t really rhyme with ‘woe’.
here’s some pretty stuff off the internetweb to make it all ok.
