C J Dennis - Introducing the Day Family
Work rating: Low

Sun Day is a simple child,
  Face new washed and shining;
In the morning prim and mild -
   Church and mid-day dining.
If, before the shadows fall,
   You should find him going
Out to romp, or play at ball -
   Well, well.  The child is growing.

Mon Day is a sulky boy.
   He frowns on work and hates it.
Tho` facing life should bring him joy,
  He ill appreciates it.
But Tues Day is a bright young man,
   Alert, well-dressed - oh, very -
Snatching pleasure where he can,
   Giving girls "the merry."

Wednes Day, stout and middle-aged,
   Seems hard-pressed and harried;
On grave affairs is he engaged;
   And very much he`s married.
He holds severe and stubborn views -
   "Young folk, sir?  Trouble breeders!"
He scans the day`s financial news
  And always reads the leaders.

Thurs Day, tho` his hair be scant,
   Is bouyant, bland and jolly;
Tho` elderly, he`s tolerant
   Of many a minor folly.
He owns a city business where
   He sits "in consultation";
But all his grey-haired pals declare
   That golf`s his occupation.

Old Fri Day grins a toothless grin -
   A grandfer, stooped and shrunken.
His chest, his cheeks are caving in,
   His dim old eyes deep sunken.
Yet, tho` he sit and moan and mope,
   All spent and worn with working,
Oft times a cunning gleam of hope
   In his old eyes seems lurking.

In Satur Day one might expect
  To find a wreck, fast dying.
Yet here`s a lusty stripling decked
   For holiday, a-crying
To merry friends, in eager tones,
   All bound for playing spaces;
Or else his favorite he `phones
   And takes her to the races.
