Hump Day

(be nice)

 

One term

Fall term, I think

There was a student

Amanda

Who came into class each Wednesday

Declaring it was hump day,

Which was a good thing for her

(declaring it, and it being Wednesday)

 

In a fifteen-week semester, most of

Another week was done

I imagine in all our versions of work weeks,

We can relate

 

Amanda, then, would help us understand

Wednesday to be both an arch day

And a day between

(good work, Amanda)

On either side the keystone lay

Half the week

Even one weekend day on either side

If we accede, traditionally,

Sunday as the first day

 

We learn that there is symmetry

We learn that there is none

And there is virtue,

Even wider goodness

In each way

 

But here’s something cleanly halved

With a marker in its place

Unevenness is fine

But in the middle of each week

We may enjoy appreciable halves

In the count of days

 

I write Thursday, by the way, which means

The second half of the week is

Sliding into weekend
