Blue Monday

Blue Monday

16 Jan 2023

I certainly never knew
But apparently this Monday is dubbed Blue
Most Mondays are pretty cheerless
But this one is apparently peerless

Some say it’s caused by mood
About today there’s little good
Xmas debts have all piled up
Even leading to marriage bust up

Lawyers welcome a busy day
They never lose, come what may
While the people are mired in misery
They look for cash on delivery

Perhaps it’s caused by our dark weather
Damp and cold, bringing no pleasure
Or perhaps this month brings little joy
No prospect of some exciting ploy

If Monday’s deemed to be so blue
To protect ourselves what can we do?
Cast aside all that would depress
Our happier memories to express
