Weekly Calendar (Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

On Sundays a person can sleep a little later
and when you do awake the morning is baked out
but Mondays do start early
when the loving wife does prepare food to take along.
On Tuesdays some reports in the newspapers do bother
and the boss is in a mood to visit.
On Wednesdays the pastor is concerned about attendance
at the prayer meeting and the whole house is cleaned for his visit.
On Thursdays it is as if the women at work do gather
around photographs of the people that they do love
and on Fridays the weekend is around the corner
and some people want to start it quite early
but on Saturdays the neighbour is already awake at half past five
with a great din that only does end in the late afternoon.
