A Confusing Weekend

Friday the 13th
Valentine’s Day and
President’s Day
Follow in rapid chronological order
Do they portend a new dance
Did they come together by chance
Or are they some new kind of weird disorder?

Friday the 13th is a good bad luck day
Followed by Valentines on display
But those presidential boys come Monday morn
Leave me way too forlorn much like a big field of corn.

Now I’ve been a thinkin’
That Washington and Lincoln
Were not very amorous guys
Of course Martha and Mary
Might have views au contrary
About their men of
Considerable size.

But that evil day Friday
Leaves things very untidy
To launch the long awaited weekend
It kinda ruins my mood
Like a dose of bad food
From a Taco Bell now on the mend.

But when it comes time
To serenade with a rhyme
I can whip out a line mighty fast
Being careful to send it
And not to amend it
For an old flame from out of the past

It’s a strange weekend indeed
And one better locked up than freed
And then pulled apart or sold by Wal-Mart
Post haste (that’s with very much speed).
Yes, devils and lovers and presidents
Make a triad that means diddly squat
One wants control
And one wants your soul
And the other wants all that you’ve got.
