- SNEEZING
Sneeze on Monday sneeze for danger
Sneeze on Tuesday kiss a stranger
Sneeze on Wednesday get a letter
Sneeze on Thursday something better
Sneeze on Friday sneeze for sorrow
Sneeze on Saturday see your true love tomorrow.CUTTING NAILS ON DAYS OF THE WEEK
Cut them on Monday you cut them for health
Cut them on Tuesday you cut them for wealth
Cut them on Wednesday you cut them for news
Cut them on Thursday (you) a new pair of shoes
Cut them on Friday you cut them for sorrow
Cut them on Saturday see your true love tomorrow
Cut them on Sunday ill luck will be with you all the week.DAYS FOR WASHING
They who wash on Monday have all the week to day
They who wash on Tuesday are not so much away
They who wash on Wednesday are not so much to blame
They who wash on Thursday wash for shame
They who wash on Friday wash for need
They who wash on Saturday oh they are sluts indeed.(continues on next page)
