I never knew the woe of Wednesday's child
A happy sort of chap for all my years
The worst of my disasters rather mild
No interesting phobias or fears
My parents are both live and well today
I speak to both of them each day or two
My children all now well upon their way
The problems I have left are rather few
I must admit I wish I had more cash
My car broke down last week and needs some care
The home I own is really nothing flash
But keeps away the coldest winter air
This Wednesdays child was born so full of glee
And here you have the "sonnet life of me!"

I'm happy for you! It would have been so nice to have a life like yours! There is an old Chinese curse that goes something like this "May you live an interesting life!" I love the workaday comfort that hums along in this poem!

I am happy you broke the bonds of a Wednesday child full of woe. You are a master of rhyme and it sounds like your worries are behind you, with lots of time to live within your rhyme. A nice sonnet!
