583.0. "Wednesday's Child?" by MEMIT::KBOOTH () Tue Sep 04 1990 13:53

    
    Does anyone know the poem regarding the day of the week children are
    born ? - Each day has a description of what kind of child for which
    day. (not any clearer huh?)

583.1as much as I can rememberRTL::JOHNSONTue Sep 04 1990 15:3014
    I'm pretty sure this is how it goes:
    
    Monday's child is fair of face
    Tuesday's child is full of grace
    Wednesday's child is full of woe
    Thursday's child has far to go
    Friday's child is loving and giving
    Saturday's child works hard for a living
    But the child that's born on the Sabbath day
    Is happy and blithe and (something) and gay!
    
    Sorry I couldn't remember the last line -- and I was born on Sunday!
    Can anyone else remember?
    
583.2Bonny, merry, glad and gayNUTMEG::MACDONALD_KThu Sep 06 1990 12:2412
    Re:-1
    
    You've got Monday thru Saturday correct.  Here's Sunday:
    
    But the child born on the Sabbath Day
    is bonny and merry and glad and gay.
    
    The last word of this poem shows how dated it is!

    Being born on a Sunday my Mum used to say to me 
    
    "But the child that is born on the Sabbath day,
     Is bonny and blithe and good and gay!"
    
    My sister was born on a Wednesday and we used to say that she was
    such a wee greetin' face!
    
    Regards
