Monday Mutiny

Monday Mutiny

 

 

Oh Monday! How I hate you

You're always bang on cue!

Can't you ever, ever slow down

Or your battery be run down?

 

Can you never be derailed

Or better still, curtailed

By a humungous traffic jami

Or an all-devouring  tsunami?

 

How about a ferocious Katrina

Sucking you up like Thumbelina

Ripping you into a zillion shards

And ejecting you off to Mars?

 

Adding insult to  injury- your hue

Wonder why you are my fav- blue!

Surely the blue-eyed Sunday

Could give you a run for your money


Happily run you to ground

Encage you, release joy unbound!

Oh you spoilsport, you killjoy!
You drag me from my lifebuoy

Shatter my morning dreams-
Oh! I could pen reams & reams-
And whoosh them into nightmares
E’en ere I’m done with my prayers!

Argh! You may have got me this time, Monday
But it won’t be long before one day
Perish you must- enemy no.1, they say 
Lo and behold! Be reborn as Sunday!!  


Epilogue:  Alas! Sigh! Shuffle, sniffle,……draaaaag
                If only my limbs wouldn’t slack!
                I could carry on, till Sunday’s back
                But hey! I have deadlines to pack!
