Blue Monday Poppycock

Blue Monday!  Poppycock.

It’s Monday shout hip hip hooray.
You’re alive on this now new day.
A start of week, it is, it’s true.
Open your minds all of you.

Many laying, in graveyards today!
Would swap with you, your place, I say.
Mind you, seeing all our problems today!
They might just change back, I say.

Be happy, positive of mind as well.
Soon we will leave the EU as well.
And if that thought makes you unwell.
Never mind, as EU soon will be unwell.

If you thought I would say, will be hell.
Well you were wrong as it is now.
I mean give refuge to people now.
What do some do? Blow us up as well.

But hey, it’s Monday, and I don’t mind.
Last week, is now left behind.
A new one is now here.
So cheer your mind as Monday’s here.

Once more our local radio inspired me. The conversation was about today 
16-1-17 being Blue Monday people were getting over Christmas, receiving the statement for the overspend on their credit cards. Thinking of  a diet to lose the Christmas spread and weight gain.  And it was the start of another working week. Also they were discussing problems with our NHS and affaires of the mind, mental health. What joy lol

Another Bank Holiday now why did I not think of that. You should run for government. Thank you for kind comments.
