    “Monday's child is fair of face...”

    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 and giving
    Saturday's child works hard for her living
    But the child that is born on the Sabbath Day
    Is bonny and blithe and good and gay

    Judge not by appearances alone
    Happy is the bride the sun shines on
    Happy is the corpse the rain falls on
    After a storm comes a calm
    When the cat is out the mouse can dance
    The early bird gets the worm
    The cat has leave to look at the king
    I saw you before says the cat to the boiling water
    It is hard to put a dog off his track
    If you put a silk suit on a goat it is still a goat
    Riding on a goat is better
