I think I have a crush on Friday.
By mid-week, I get weak in the knees anticipating his arrival. On Thursday, it begins to sink in. He’s coming!
And, when he arrives, I embrace him and cover him with wet kisses! Oh! Friday! Friday! Friday! My favorite, favorite day!
Friday
is that kind of a guy. He fills your head with promises of lazy
Saturday mornings, breakfast in bed, picnics in the park and nights out
on the town.
He’s a bit of a lady’s man, really. All over town,
ladies bat their eyelashes his way, hoping he’ll pay them a visit. And,
although he is a love-‘em-and-leave-‘em type, there does seem to be enough of him to go around. He never seems to disappoint. I mean, who complains about Friday?
And,
I’ve never known anyone to fight over the guy. Rather, everyone is
thrilled just to get their tiny piece of the pie. “Thank God!! It’s
Friday!”
As a matter of fact, I think the men are in on this,
too. There seems to be a collective sigh heard around the world upon his
end of the week arrival.
Everyone is giddy. A little lighter. More relaxed.
Then,
he leaves us as quickly as he came, hand in hand with Lady Sunday.
Heartbroken, we’re left with some boring guy named Monday. You know the
type. All work and no play. Nose to the grindstone. Beady eyed. Cranky.
And really teed off that he missed the party.
What a gigolo, that Friday guy, huh? A regular Good Time Charlie.
Sigh.
But, we always take him back, don’t we?
