    1. The following is a marriage rhyme.
    "Monday for wealth,
    Tuesday for health,
    Wednesday the best day of all,
    Thursday for losses,
    Friday for Crosses,
    Saturday no day at all"
    2. The following is a rhyme for Washing Days.
    "If you wash on Monday you have all the week to dry,
    If you wash on Tuesday you are not so much a' rye,
    If you wash on Wednesday you're not so much to blame,
    If you wash on Thursday you wash for shame,
    If you wash on Friday you wash in need,
    And if you wash on Saturday you are very bad indeed."
    3. Long ago the farmers started to plant potatoes on a Friday.
