Ahhh Sunday

Ahhh, Sunday

That just-don't-do-a-lot day
My I-don’t-give-a-jot day
Just-have-a-little-fun day
Batteries charged for Monday

A lie-in-bed-a-while day
A neighbour-with-a-smile day
An after-dinner-nap day
A kitten-on-your-lap day 

A plan-that-went-awry day...
A get-the-washing-dry day
A cut-and-strim-the-lawn day 
Wash-up-when-dinner’s-done day

A paint-that-ceiling-twice day
A long-walk-with-the-wife day
A chop-a-load-of-logs day
A better-bath-the-dogs day

A give-your-grandson-grins day
A just-take-out-the-bins day
This day that follows Saturday
This I’m-completely-shattered day!

Oh heck: Sunday.

Great take on Sundays, Terry. Your antenna's receptors are spot-on, as usual. Enjoyed this one greatly. Thanks, gw

Just seems that ‘The Sabbath’ is something they used to have back in the olden days. Glad you enjoyed, Gershon. Terry

Thanks, Ilene. Funny how ‘He’ rested on the seventh day, but apparently kept that particular pleasure to himself. ;-) Terry

You got me! After my experience with a certain eight foot moray, my voice raised a couple of octaves and I became the lead singer with The Bangles. ;-) Terry
