Monday is as Monday does
Fired from a cannon with Sunday’s love
It begins unobtrusively
While snores commence noisily
Then the alarm clock rings
“Wake up!” the gray cat sings
Monday is as Monday does
Flying in on the weekend’s love
A fresh start, of sorts
A new weekday port
Sailing into vacation play
Or embraced by the office fray
Monday is as Monday does
Wheeling around on crazy love
Calling for black coffee, stat
Being a bit of a spoiled brat
Urging us to rue the day
Instead of chasing the blahs away
Monday is as Monday does
Followed up by Tuesday’s love
It buzzes like a busy bee
And tries to put us on one knee
The people doth protest quite clear
And wave goodbye to Monday’s rear
Monday is as Monday does
and slithers away with little love
It’s over, out and done
The rest of the week has won
Seven days before it again shows its face
And gives caution to the human race
Monday is as Monday does
Take it prisoner with your resilient love
It’s not as bad as you think
It will be over before you blink
Give the day your best of best
Then crawl in bed for a good night’s rest
Monday is as Monday does
Fired from a cannon with Sunday’s love

Ahhh monday! Delightful poem Mary.
Thanks Cheryl! It’s a little something to kick off the week 😀
That was fun, and I think you might have changed my mind about this day. Either that or it’s the donut I just unwrapped. I think it’s the poem. I hope you’re off to a good week!
Mmmmm…donut!!! I woke up with a headache, Dan, but I suspect it’s more about allergies and a weather change than it being Monday.
Is the weather changing for the better? It’s not winter arriving already, is it?
Too much rain! I’ve had to water my patio plants only 2 or 3 times since I planted them in May. Saturday was a perfect summer day…need more blue skies, low dewpoints and 80 degree weather.
Sorry. I hope it clears before the weekend.
Me too! 😃
That is a completely relatable post.
(Although in summer, I am really spoiled, cause I sleep late when there’s no school!)
You’re back from your vacation and that first Monday is hard. I’m soon to end my staycation, and I suspect next Monday will not be my friend. Thank goodness for coffee 🙂
Today has been fairly quiet, so I am always grateful for that. It helps with getting somewhat caught up before the next shoe drops.
Mmhm. Oh I say mmmhm.
That was yesterday. Today has been a different story. mmmhm.
I love your poems 🙂
With each stanza, I waited for the variation on the 2nd line and its version of love … for like you implied, every week should start from a position of love ❤
Thanks for your poetry support,Joanne! I do love Monday and that love grows every weekday until I’m ready to marry the weekend. 😀
Not many people love Mondays. Personally, I’ve never had a problem with them. For a long time I hated Fridays because it seemed that everything that went wrong during the week came to a head on Friday.
… but then I started having Martini Fridays after work and I didn’t mind so much anymore 😉
I must begin Old Fashioned Friday…has a nice ring!
Do It!!!
I wanted to tell you I nominated you for The One Lovely Blog Award
Daisy, that is very sweet of you. I don’t usually respond to the nomination other than to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH. It’s simply a matter of not having time to respond, especially at this time (life’s been overly busy). I hope you understand and accept my heartfelt thanks for the nomination. It has been a bright spot in my day. 🙂
Your Welcome
Ahhhhh…Monday is as Monday does. How wonderfully poetic and true. It’s hard to realize it’s just another day…it brings its own shadows and joy and quirky beginnings and ends. Thank you for the smile!
You’re welcome, Claudia! Glad to be of service! 😀
