Tuesday Is For My Other Lover Poem by Emu Getachew

I don't want to love you on Tuesday
Tuesday is for my other lover
so pick another day.

I don't want to love you on Wednesday
the day is still sleeping
and the moon is all I got.

I don't want to love you on Monday
the clouds sing the blues
and I have to play in the band.

I don't want to love you on Saturday
streets turn to meat markets
and people dance in the alley.

I don't want to love on Thursday
Thursday is his birthday
and we paint our body all day.

I don't want to love on Sunday
Saturday was a busy day
so pick another day.
