Don't Call Me On a Monday

Don't call me on a Monday,
I'll never be at my best.
Don't call me on a Monday,
for it should've been made a day of rest.

Don't call me on a Monday,
It's the day of the week I like the least.
Don't call me on a Monday,
or you'll be sure to raise a beast.

Don't call me on a Monday, 
I really don't have the time.
Don't call me on a Monday, 
I might just call you a swine.

Don't call me on a Monday,
my body is all a jumble.
Don't call me on a Monday,
that would be as wise as entering a jungle.

Don't call me on a Monday,
please take my best advice.
Don't call me on a Monday,
my head feels like it's been put in a vise.

Don't call me on a Monday,
any other day of the week would be fine.
Don't call me on a Monday,
but call me on a Friday and that would be just divine.

Sad that some people live their life in such a manner. That must be awful to feel that horrible. I enjoyed reading it. It has good rhythm, rhyme and flow. Sara
