For today's prompt, I want you to write a poem about Friday. Do you like Fridays? Despise Fridays? Of course, you can also write about something that happened on a Friday--or write an ode to Fridays. Or, as you know, I'm all for seeing you attack this from an angle I haven't thought of yet.
Man Friday
I wish I had a Man Friday,
a servant to do what I say:
pay all the monthly bills,
pick up my prescription pills,
throw out the rotten fishes,
clean up the dirty dishes,
feather the two inch dust,
grocery shopping a definite must,
the floor would meet the mop,
dinner would be more than slop,
wash the piles of dirty laundry
and never charge me a single fee.
What I need in my life
is an old-fashioned wife.
