    Share Share Post
    Monday is Sunday's brother,
    Tuesday is all the same
    Wednesday we fast and pray,
    For Thursday's a Holyday,
    Friday is too late to begin
    For Saturday is Sunday's brother again.

    He also composed
    Saturday my wife died
    Sunday I buried her,
    Monday was my joyful day
    Tuesday I got married
    Wednesday I stole a cow.
    Thursday I was taken
    Friday was onial day
    Saturday hanged liked bacon.
