Weary Wednesday
Too far from the weekend
Lets figure out a new system
Maybe have 1 Wednesday a month
But that would mean uneven weeks
Wednesday should be abolished completely
Leaving a 4 day working week
Thursday will come around faster
Lets rename Thursday junior Friday
So after working 2 days
You have 2 Fridays
No more weary Wednesdays
Just Monday Tuesday double Friday
Then its the weekend again
Monday Monday
Can still be a fun day
Monday Monday
Closer to the weekend
Than yesterday
Monday Monday
Go for a run day
Bake in the sun day
Monday Monday
Its a deal done day
Spend a large sum day
Have friends come day
Monday Monday
Sip a coke with rum day
Be a beach bum day
Dream of it some day
Monday Monday
Lottery you won day
Put your best clothes on day
I do love a Monday
So its Wednesday today
Well it was when I wrote this
What exactly does that mean I wonder
In old English Wednesday was called Wodensday
Named after the Anglo-Saxon god Woden
Woden was the leader of the wild hunt
His name was made from two words
Wod meaning violently insane
en meaning headship
The latin origin of today is Mercurii meaning day of Mercury
Mercury was the Roman god of commerce and travel
He was also associated with thievery eloquence and science
Mercury was the messenger of the other gods
So today you can either go on a totally wild hunt for something
Under the watchful eye of your violently insane leader
Or
Travel somewhere and eloquently execute a fraudulent scientific deal
Knowing that your leader will spill the beans
Civilizations evolve but today some folks behave exactly like their ancestors
