Monday

Rising on this Monday morning
Making breakfast like Monday wife
Burning eggs in Owens Corning
Starting early my Monday strife

Mirror glance, I have Monday hair
Sunday wet-head is Monday death
Feeling like I have Monday care
Emitting stench, my Monday breath

Gulping down strong hot Monday joe
Steaming coffee burns Monday face
Fairest of face has Monday woe
Tuesday’s child has had Monday grace

Dealing with grumpy Monday drive
Traffic moves a crawl, Monday speed
Lucky to be Monday alive?
Spatting cuss words, my Monday creed

Greeting my lazy Monday boss
Bitters my Monday rank and file
Losing the first Monday coin toss
Plastered an ugly Monday smile

Boss-man questions Monday alarm
Realize my fond Monday mistake
Drinking weekend did Monday harm
It’s Sunday and I am awake!

Never will I indulge in gin
Thinking that it’s Monday again!

Hi Rhoda, I have no Mondays so I don't have to worry about it, but you made me smile.

A fun poem, Rhoda. It was well done to repeat the word Monday in each line - a very effective inside rhyme that didn't get old. Congrats on your well deserved podium win.

Mondays are bad enough but it really sucks when you have more than one per week. Nicely written. John
