  1. The Lore of Certain Days

    Share Share Post
    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 & giving.
    Saturday's child has to work for his living.
    But the child that is born on the sabbath Day,
    Is bonny & blithe & good & gay.

    Monday for health,
    Tuesday for wealth,
    Wednesday the best day of all.
    Thursday for losses,
    Friday for crosses,
    And Saturday no day at all.
    Friday is supposed to be the best day for planting crops & opening a business place.
