On Certain Days

Went on a little vacation And plans we had proposed We couldn’t do because On certain days, some things were closed. On Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays Many restaurants and stores, Plus museums. shows and galleries Posted signs upon their doors. Please stop by again on Thursday Or the weekend; we’ll be here! Were they short-staffed? I’m not certain But to us, it was quite clear That some businesses don’t need to wait For customers to show And perhaps on early weekdays We’re not welcome; good to know.

Business? As usual? Nah! Nothing Busy about these 'busy-nesses.' Good grief, what is this world coming to? People don't even want to take our money anymore?!

Small towns and religious communities aren't always open for business. Sundays/Mondays are off days. Thanksgiving Day isn't very good either. I always carry a can opener in my car thanks for the poem.
