The Week
If Monday’s when the week begins
And Sunday’s when it ends,
Then how come on the calendar
That logic it suspends?
For Sundays show up on the left
And Saturdays the right,
Implying that week goes
Sunday morn to Saturnight.
Since many people work 5 days,
With weekends times of rest,
The Monday start is one that is
Most commonly expressed.
Yet we accept the way things stand
And honor the mystique
For, calendar or not, tomorrow
Starts another week.
