Thematic Attic Thursday Finds An A-musing Nursery Rhyme!
” Wednesday’s Child” is a long-established poem. The words of Wednesday’s Child were used to introduce children to the different days of week. The wording of Wednesday’s Child guaranteed that a child would take a keen interest in which day that they were born on! Sunday was traditionally known as the ‘Sabbath day’ in the Christian religion. Although the poem is well known it is not one of the more popular rhymes therefore not repeated very often. We are therefore left with a vague memory that there was a rhyme but cannot readily remember the attribute of Wednesday’s Child!

Wednesday’s Child poem
AKA Monday’s Child
Mondays child is fair of face,
Tuesdays child is full of grace,
Wednesdays child is full of woe,
Thursdays child has far to go,
Fridays child is loving and giving,
Saturdays child works hard for his living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

WEDNESDAY’S CHILD
With a Modern Twist
Mondays Child is fair of face,
looking sweet in silk and lace.
Tuesday’s child is full of grace
inviting a warm embrace.
Wednesday’s child is full of woe,
from her head to every toe.
Thursday’s child has far to go,
farther than most folks could throw.
Friday’s child is loving and giving,
memories she will be reliving.
Saturday’s child works hard for a living,
precluding a need for forgiving.
And the child that is born on the Sabbath Day
is bonny and blithe and good and gay.
If that’s her lifestyle choice, it’s ok.

WEDNESDAY’S ADULT
Wednesday’s child is all grown up,
At a bar called Brimful Cup.
She looks like she is full of woe.
She drank too much; will up she throw?

Be the
Wednesdays child
Just another day
The middle of the week
Windy be the child
Has far to go
Yeah
Make it fun
Be merry and bright
What ever day be born on
All day are awesome just to be
Be the
Wednesdays child
Make your own way
If far to go just take it slow
Put on a smile that shines makes others smile back

EVERY-DAY CHILD
Each day’s an adventure
and I do the best I can
to find those things
that make me smile,
thankful for
the pleasure
that each one
brings to me.
For I’m a child
of every day,
no two of them
exactly the same.
And I love how life
is always that way.

MY DAY
Wednesdays child is full of woe
More than any one knows
Yet as for the
Saturdays child that me
Works hard for my living
No pay do I ask just love and care I provide
Each day gets a little harder ta bear as ole age had took a tole on me
Saturdays and every day is my tides I do work all day
Still darn is light
Tis I that should be
Fill wit woe
Yet I enjoy very much the work I do to help other

Wednesday`s Child used to be a special on Wednesday news here showing children that needed homes, to be adopted
Wednesday`s Child
He was a baby crawling proud
Learning to walk came across a dark cloud
His parents were arguing and very loud
One day authorities came this is not allowed
The child as they took him felt as he was being plowed
For he fought with all he had as his body bowed
He said one day he will keep his promise as vowed
To learn from this sharing his past never mistreat a child
Later in live he made speeches to large crowds
Sorry I missed this, it looks like a much fun blog! Hello everyone! :love:
Thanks so much to all whom came out to me Blog .. It waz so fun .. Hugs :love: :love:
