- Rhyme :- Saturday night my wife she died.
Sunday she was buried.
Monday was my wooing day.
And Tuesday I got married.
Wednesday I stole a cow.
Thursday I was put to jail.
Friday was my Trial Day.
And Saturday I was hanged.Saturday’s flit is a short sit :- It is commonly believed that it is unlucky to get to a new residence on a Saturday or to start any work on that day.“The better day the better deed”. This a common saying about Sunday. It is used when any unusual thing takes place on Sunday.Sweet Saturday Night and sour Monday Morning.It is said “If March comes in like a lion it goes out like a lamb.
ie If the beginning of March is fierce the end of it will be fine.- Collector
