Not On a Monday
No, don't give me Monday
it's worse than a screaming nightmare,
which cannot be rescued
by some lethargic motions---
Darn Monday is a curse I want
to exorcise, even if it's stretched
into miles of burnt out stress!
Just give me Wednesday,
the middle of humdrum's week--
by then the piles on my desk
can clear my reckless mind
by pressing delete---
all corporate words snuffed
while I rock the good ole blues!
