    Certain Days
    There is a rhyme about marriage,
    Monday for health,
    Tuesday for wealth,
    Wednesday the best day off all,
    Thursday for looses,
    Friday for crooses
    Saturday the worst day of all.
    Friday is an unlucky day to change from one house to another.
    The month of May is unlucky in which to white-wash.
    Friday is unlucky on which to go on holidays.
    Sunday is unlucky on which to come back.
    "Good Friday" is unlucky on which to cut bushes.
