(From the Writer’s Journal 4/30/91)

Monday’s child is fair but weak

Tuesday’s child is full of glow

Wednesday’s child can no longer grow

Thursday’s child has a goiter

Friday’s child may have leukemia

Saturday’s child is lying at home

But the child born on the Sabbath Day

Is gentle and nice and realizes that never again will he return

To that smoking sarcophagus
