  1. Lore of Certain Days

    Share Share Post
    Lore of certain days.
    Monday's child is fair of face,
    Tuesday's child is full of grace, Wednesday's child has far to go. Thursday's child is full of woe.
    Friday's child is loving and giving
    Saturday's child works hard for her living, But the child that's born on the Sabbath day.
    Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.
    Never cast a clout until May is out.
    April and May keep far from the sea,
    June and July swim till you die.
    Monday for health.
    Tuesday for wealth.
    Wednesday the best day of all.
    Thursday for crosses.
    Friday for losses.
    Saturday the worst day of all.
