Wednesday's child is full of woe Explanation: Tam olarak karşılamasa da şöyle bi nursery rhyme var 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 born on the Sabbath Day, Is fair and wise and good and gay. http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monday's_Child -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 44 mins (2009-10-03 21:49:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 'Best never enjoyed if Sunday shorn, And likewise leave out Monday. Cut Thursday and you'll never grow rich, Likewise on a Saturday. But live long if shorn on a Tuesday And best of all is Friday.' -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 46 mins (2009-10-03 21:50:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- There is an old American belief as to what is in store for a couple who intend to marry. This can be affected by the day upon which the they buy the ring (thankfully they are all good outcomes): Monday A busy and exciting life. Tuesday A peaceful and contented life. Wednesday A good tempered relationship. Thursday Attainment of all you wish. Friday Hard work but reward in time. Saturday Will give you life with much pleasure. Sunday Traditionally this day was a time when shops were closed therefore advice does not currently exist. |

...başka tekerlemeler Explanation: bazı başka "nursery rhyme" örnekleri aşağıda: Monday alone, Tuesday together, Wednesday we walk When it's fine weather, Thursday we kiss, Friday we cry, Saturday's hours seem almost to fly. But of all the days in the week, we will call Sunday the rest day, the best day of all. If you sneeze on Monday, you sneeze for danger; Sneeze on a Tuesday, kiss a stranger; Sneeze on a Wednesday, sneeze for a letter; Sneeze on a Thursday, something better. Sneeze on a Friday, sneeze for sorrow; Sneeze on a Saturday, joy to-morrow. They that wash on Monday, have all the week to dry; They that wash on Tuesday, are not so much awry; They that wash on Wednesday, are not so much to blame They that wash on Thursday, wash for very shame; They that wash on Friday, wash in sorry need They that wash on Saturday, are lazy folk indeed. Friday night's dream, on Saturday told, Is sure to come true, be it never so old. On Saturday night Shall be all my care To powder my locks And curl my hair. On Sunday morning My love will come in. When he will marry me With a gold ring. |
