DAYS
I.
There are Fourths of July
there are Cincos de Mayo
Bob Marley's born on the same day Reagan's born
On July fourteenth you can sing la Marseillaise
|
II.
There are the days you love and the days you hate
days which you'd love it to stay
and days you wish it'd just go away
but a day is a day is a day
|
III.
There are Tuesdays Wednesdays Thursdays
Sundays Mondays and Fridays
Sabbaths with the rainy afternoons
and a day is a day is a day
|
IV.
Rainy days and sunny days
days to go out and days to sit at home
days you have to wake up early
and days you can sleep in late
|
V.
Spring days and summer days
Japanese Emperors' birthdays
the day when Chiang Kai-shek died
isn't the same day Rome was built
|
VI.
Days with lots of daylight
and days with none -- in some weird place
but they all have 24 hours
Not one is an hour more or one less
|
VII.
Autumn days and winter days
No two days are the same
4-20 days when you can smoke emjay
and Holocaust Memorial Days
|
VIII.
February days are the minority
but they aren't oppressed by those in May
The 31 August days don't gang up with July
to kick each of the September ones' ass
|
IX.
Children's days and Mother's Days
Women's Days but no official Men's days
Labor Days are the Firsts of May
It's different only in Canada, Japan and the U. S. of A.
|
X.
Some people think that one day ain't enough
for their insignificant rant and bark
so they have Chemistry Celebration Week
and the whole AIDS Awareness Month
|
XI.
But I like my eighty-six thousand seconds
I think that's plenty for me
and there's just four hundreds more
to make my schedule nice and sweet!
