Ben and Cora Green had seven children, like calendar pages turning; Each one born on a different weekday, like mango sun, forever burning. Zoe was pretty, with big eyes and dimples, while Leah loved dancing, Yet, Bill was sort of a pessimist; like when mystic trouble is glancing. Edward had a zeal for jogging, while Ruth ran many errands for free. James always had a part time job. Pete was all sunshine, very happy. Fun barbecues attracted friends, to lawns of families and red flowers; When fluff, sleepy clouds wandered, during deep green, golden hours. Hues of fall leaves were fawning, when flying on crisp air, like family; Visiting the days of fuming flora, of cool chrysanthemums, so pretty! The Greens lived in a house of calendars, as mystic prisms flash color; The life sundered into separate hues, like in gardens of blissful wonder. Saffron sun shone on their street, as they smiled at people they'd meet; When silver willows whispered surrender, to warm breezes, of no retreat. Neighbors were a part of noon memoirs. Shadows were national heroes, In ruddy times of heat and desperation! In the heyday of burgundy rose. 'Lady Leigh' irises sizzled in red, with the fruity beauty of 'pineapple lily,' While insects snacked on 'goldfish' plants, beneath pink clouds, so frilly! 'Starfish' flowers had big highs and lows, in strawberry days of summer; While 'Peruvian apple' cacti bloomed, on a single, dark night of slumber. The Green children conveyed nostalgia for joyful childhood, into old age; As colorful fall remembers summer just left, so flower strewn and sage! Zoe grew up to be a model, while Leah became a famous ballet dancer. Bill became a happier TV weatherman, for after rain, sun is the answer! Edward later ran in marathons, and Ruth founded a charity organization. James worked hard for conservation, as Pete, a clown, toured the nation. Like the smiles that charm each seven day week, as a teal world waltzes; Or like satiny peace of pearl moon charm, when the purple world pauses! 'Monday's child is fair of face, Tuesday's child is full of grace, Wednesday's child is full of woe, Thursday's child has far to go, Friday's child is loving and giving, Saturday's child works hard for a living, And the child who is born on the Sabbath Day Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.'
