Why There Will Always be a Monday Because grey skies and rain need a place to call home Because Sunday night blues couldn’t work if we returned to Tuesday Monday keeps everyone honest returning us to an uphill trail climbing to the scenic overlook of Friday They say you can see two whole days from Friday’s vantage point According to the International Standards Organization the first day of the week is Monday Some old religions would say it’s the second day but reading Genesis God started work on the cosmos on a Monday. Etymologists would note it’s a moon day More people commit suicide and call in sick on this day Monday was wash day and has been called big, black, blue, clean, cyber, wet, mead, manic and miracle. Monday is at the dark end of the calendar waiting for us to return.
