Wednesday’s Child

Wednesday starts earlier than Tuesday.

Everyone’s in a hurry to get

To the hustle,the bustle, the rage.

Time is relative, no?

And anyone who says it isn’t,

Has never stood 

At the corner of Frank and Blank Street 

On Wednesday morning at 7:13.

Some people call Wednesday hump day,

And I don’t know why.

Maybe they hump it and hack it through,

But I don’t want to go to Wednesday.

Tell me, again, Mother, why do I have to?

“Because it’s a schoolday,

And everyone knows 

That everyone has to go

To screwel on a screwelday,

Especially if it falls on a Wednesday”

Maybe this is why they say,

“Wednesday’s child is full of woe.”

They do still say that somewhere, don’t they?

But surely they won’t teach you that in school anymore,

It’s too honest.

It’s too true, and factual.
