  1. I Hate Monday

    Share Share Post
    19/7/'38
    As everyone knows, Monday is the first day of the week and Sunday occurs before it. As I usually spend that day vigorous I abhor getting up in the morning. Every morning I hear the alarm clock whirring and for a few seconds I am in a fools Paradise. Then it dawns on me that it is Monday morning and I utter a mournful sigh.
    On some Monday mornings I pretend not to hear my alarm clock but my mother hammers on the doors. Then I feel how comfortable the blankets are. I remember something. It is black Monday morning & Saturday is as far away as ever.
    After dinner I go out working and try to kill the day
