Fail to live up to sermon;

But most of them were Fridays-
And then Saturday

 Time is an illusion...

I walked outside     into grey
it was a bad day

for Linda's "soul speaks senryu"...

dressing in the dark
                       one brown and one black shoe
                       casual mondays...

I wonder:
is one man's ballad
invalid
word salad
or a plant-based substitute
for veggie palates?

Weekdays

I like Mondays
it starts hopefully
Tuesdays 
are a setback
then it goes
downhill
all the way
to bloody Sunday...

A Lady of the Night took fright
When she saw her customer's plight
For Jack-the-Ripper
Held a glass slipper
On a Monday, nothing goes right!...

You would think fortune tellers would know,
for their crystal balls would surely show;
so on Mondays weekly,
why don’t we get to see,
the headlines read psychic wins lotto....

in the closet
ironed
impassive clothes
just eager for
my gestures
sophisticated
of Sunday...
 How sad... !
I am
pure routine
of mondays
disorganized,
but ecstatic......

MONDAY IS PART OF THE WEEK,
THAT APPEARS EVERY MONTH,
CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN AND
CARRYING A MONKEY ON HIS BACK,
LOOKING LIKE A MONK WITHOUT AN IGLOO.
NOBODY MOCKS A MONDAY WITHOUT A MONKEY ON IT BACK....

I am constantly stressed
So I see my shrink

My psychiatrist, too, of course
And, oh yeah, this group –

Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays
A “Life Skills” group

Supposedly,
They teach me life skills...

Monday.has been and gone.
      Tuesday, nearly here.
      Wednesday not far away,
      Thursday not my day.
      Friday week ends on its way.
      Saturday we go out for a beer.
      Sunday relaxing till  the mondays here....

Home is where the heart is, home is where the love is
Love's the greatest emotion known, that ain't no myth
Surpasses ice cream sundaes
Or gloomy bloody Mondays
Home is the cuddliest place to sit with a naked nymph...

Mondays

Why does every day 
Seem like monday
I say a secret prayer 
And wish it was Sunday
All week I have been working
And now it's really hurting
O roll on Sunday
The weeks roll by
And I wonder why
Every day seems like
Monday...

Monday morning clues
What did they do on the weekend?
The smiling ones
Do they mean it 
Or are they hiding their truth?

Did their wives beat them?
Did their dogs hurt their feelings?
We all wear our masks
Especially on Mondays
Revealing nothing....

When the time is Sunday,
it goes by so quickly, that soon
becomes Sunday again...
but when is monday
everything becomes slow,
time does not pass
as we desire...
24 hours is a century,
the week does not finish...!
Is always Monday......
Sunday, never comes... !...

I have been called a georgia peach a time or two 
Pretty as the sky is blue 
But i say damn on mondays
and pray on sundays 
Oh and if you have not heard 
Im bull headed and short tempered too 
If you kick a bull you better run 
Before this georgia peach comes undone...

Tis splendor in the grass these coming summer days
America’s youth can have their privileged adolescent ways
Swimming and playing or simply being laid back
They have little worries without any teacher’s flack
Enrich they youngish self before the inevitable groans of early Mondays...

Listen to poem:

Mondays
may as well be 
cry days

kids
called back
to school
and
play dates
over

teachers
expecting
stellar
homework
assignments

and… 
an apple
would be nice

You love me because I live a 10 minute walk from your house

And I don’t mind when MDMA Mondays

Render you useless between the sheets

You love me because I nod in the right places and

Don’t tell your mother that you smoke

You love me because

It’s easier to love me than

To love no one atall...

Friday has come 
And here I go
Ready to take up the weekend
Ready to blow the Saturdays with laziness
Ready to greet Sundays in Sabbath
Ready to start the Mondays in guile And climb over the hump-day
Back to Thursday, it's getting a lil' bit more easier now to deal wtih the days 
That may pass us by seven at a time...
