Day of the Week

I often must take a quick peek
To make sure of the day of the week
For the days seem to blend
And I cannot depend
On my brain for the answer I seek.

Since most travel and visits have ceased
Time at home and nearby has increased
So the hours I spend
On activities tend
To slip by like they’ve somehow been greased.

Thus, a Saturday might as well be
Either Tuesday or Wednesday to me
But a glance at my phone
Where the day’s always shown
Sets me straight to a certain degree.

After reading these three limericks I don't feel so alone about what day it is. Some days are worse than others. Must be one more aging problem. / Maurice

I am always off on the day; it never matters until I get to school then it really matters as I teach character ed classes on different days to different grade levels.

A great trio of limericks, Ilene! I have the same problem keeping track of what day it is. Blessings, Kim M
