Oh, Monday
Oh, Monday, you vex me. /
A sour text, you text me. /
You proclaim elation, /
Lying on a bed of consternation. /
You say, Arise! Make the wheels of capitalism spin /
As though my last ounce of weekend indolence a sin. /
Oh, Monday, I wish I could love you, /
Or at least, like a dove, fly above you. /
But the best I can do is grin /
And say, Let the hell begin again. /
Each day will have its number. /
Each day will have its blunder. /
But Monday is the gatekeeper /
Of all that will befall or be reaped here. /
I wish you all pleasant circumstances, /
Moments filled with life’s entrances. /
But remember, Monday is always near, /
Never far and always clear. /
Up ahead is your Twilight Zone, /
Childhood changed and then left alone. /
And all the monsters on Maple Street, /
Need a Monday to make them complete. /
Fear this monster, or if you dare, /
Extend a hard and show some care. /
Maybe Monday is lonely, too, /
And could use a friend just like you.
