Monday, Oh Monday!

Happy dreary, cold, crummy Monday morning, everyone! As if Mondays aren’t bad enough, right, Jodi “I’m really not feeling this whole Monday business. Not. At. All.” Egan? J I feel you and it was your Monday woe posts that inspired me to revise Jack Prelutsky’s classic kid poem “Homework, Oh Homework!” to a more adult version. Hope it gives you a little chuckle, Jodi, and everyone else who is ready to remove Mondays from the calendar. 

“Monday, Oh Monday!”

Monday! Oh, Monday!  

I hate you! You stink!  

I wish I could wash you away in the sink, 

 if only a bomb would explode you to bits.  

Monday! Oh, Monday!   You're giving me fits. 

I'd rather take baths with a man-eating shark,     

or wrestle a lion alone in the dark,     

eat spinach and liver,     

pet ten porcupines,    

than tackle this Monday.     

Stock up on those wines! 

 

Monday! Oh, Monday!  

You're last on my list,  

I simply can't see why you even exist,  

if you just disappeared it would tickle me pink.  

Monday! Oh, Monday!  

I hate you! You stink!
