Tuesday to Thursday

 

My blues are now gone, because Jane left today

and now I am free to choose my own way.

Free at last, I can spend my Friday nights

drinking and getting into barroom fights.

 

Saturday, I’ll be able to sleep ‘til one.

Then, try like hell to get a date with someone.

Take Rose to the bar where we will have some fun.

We’ll dance until we’re done, and then make our run.

 

Sunday’s a mess I have to pass on church.

I’ve been arrested by the cops and strip searched.

Then, I heard the judge say to me, ‘Pay the man!.”

but regretfully told him, “ I will if I can.”

 

Monday, I sadly spend the whole day in jail

Pay the tab and the fine. My car’s now for sale

Then, woefully I tell Rose,” I’m not a bad guy.”

but, she slaps me and says, “You're a  fool…. Goodbye.”

 

From Tuesday to Thursday, I cry.

            Thanks, Andy. But I'm too weak to enjoy anything.

            Although in essence it is a write of someone cocking up their life, it is written in an entertaining and humourous way, enjoyed the read

            There's a kind of inevitable logic there that tickled me and dragged me along.
            I have sighted (and kept my distance) a couple of nutters like that over the years....
            Good 'un, Phil.

            • MendedFences27

              Thanks, DD. Those nutters are everywhere.

              Powerful and poignant.
