    MONDAY ALONE
    Monday alone,
    Tuesday together,
    Wednesday we walk when its fine weather,
    Thursday we kiss,
    Friday we cry,
    Saturday's hours seem almost to fly,
    But of all the days in the week we will
    call Sunday the rest day the best day of all.
    PINS
    See a pin and pick it up,
    All the day you'll have good luck,
    See a pin and let it lay,
    Bad luck you'll have all the day.
    MONDAY'S CHILD
    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 works hard for its living.
    And a child that is born on Christmas Day is fair and wise and good and gay.
