An Owed Ode to Saturday

Saturday has always had the privilege of blessing us with good times, funshine and a whole heap of hope. I bet many of your best childhood, teen and grown-up memories were born on a Saturday because Saturday is an ancient pleasure that we will ever revel in.


(But if Friday is your bestie, scroll on to the end ...)


An Ode Owed to Saturday


Saturday’s

A scatter day

A visit friends and natter day

A pottering pitter patter day


A rest the old grey matter day

A spend-time-with-the-cat-er day

A down the pub and smatter day

A let’s go wild, mad-hatter day


A Jackson Pollock splattered day

A feelin’ good and flattered day

A wide awake not shattered day

A brain not feeling battered day


A fine to be a slacker day

A lip and cheek-fest smacker day

A guiltless gorge and snacker day

A wine and cheese and cracker day


A ribeye and red snapper day

A chocolate empty wrapper day

A high five and back slapper day

A wonder whippersnapper day


A long lie in and napper day

A buy new clothes and dapper day

A watch a show and clapper day

A night dressed as a flapper day


Saturday’s

A scatter day

An ancient silver platter day

A do the things that matter day

An Ode Owed To Friday



Friday

is my day

your day

and our day


Friday’s not …


a sigh day

a shy day

a dry day

a die day

a cry day

a why day


Friday

is my day

your day

and our day


Friday is …


A fly day

A try day

A ply day

A buy day

A vie day

A high day


Friday

is my day

your day

and our day


Mark Bird
