Cut them on Monday, you cut them for health;
Cut them on Tuesday, you cut them for wealth;
Cut them on Wednesday, you cut them for news;
Cut them on Thursday, a new pair of shoes;
Cut them on Friday, you cut them for sorrow;
Cut them on Saturday, see your true love tomorrow;
Cut them on Sunday, you cut them for evil,
For all of next week you'll be ruled by the devil.
Sunday Monday Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday,
Sunday comes again.
March winds
March winds and April showers,
Bring forth May flowers
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 must work for a living,
But the child that's born on the Sabbath day
Is fair and wise and good and gay.
Snow in January, Ice in February,
Wind in March, Rain in April,
Buds in May, Roses in June,
Vacation in July, Warm days in August,
School in September, Apples in October,
Cold days in November, Christmas in December.
Solomon Grundy,
Born on Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday,
This is the end of Solomon Grundy.
Sunday Monday Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday,
Sunday comes again.
Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November;
all the rest have thirty one
except for February alone,
which has twenty eight each year,
twenty nine each Leap Year.
