Mondy ooh, was full of gruel,
and Tuesday we did vote it.
Wednesday's babe was not a fool,
but Thursday's baby smote it.
Author notes
YOu did post:
"this little poem was used to teach children the days of the week and to make them aware of which day they were born. I would love to see contributions based on each day centered around this poem. If nothing else you might rediscover the actual forgotten day of the week that you were born. The original goes as follows;
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.

How can they think of putting a seventeen year old genius in jail? For shame, administration!
I think you must be a Thursday child. Or born at midnight between Thursday and Friday.
Back to the original question, why not call it Original Sin? -

I even found some very poetic authors notes at your place!
