Thursday

An ode

Prepping you for yay-day

The weekend a whisper away

It’s the new Friday!

Exclaim they

With hangovers achieved and deadlines unmet

You ruin your real weekend

Friday all but wasted away

When will you learn?

Maybe next Thursday.

Suman Sandhu enjoys the weekend. She has spoiled far too many Fridays by falling for the “Thursday night is the new Friday night” trope. It’s not true.

Thanks to Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) for the poetry prompt! https://readmedium.com/thursday-db58e36325c9
