coz i was curious
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.
Wednesdays Child
Long established poem - Wednesdays child
The words of Wednesdays child were used to introduce children to the different days of week. The wording of Wednesdays child guaranteed to ensure that a child would take a keen interest in which day that they were born on! Sunday was traditionally known as the 'Sabbath day' in the Christian religion. Although the poem is well known it is not one of the more popular rhymes therefore not repeated very often. We are therefore left with a vague memory that there was a rhyme but cannot readily remember the attribute of Wednesdays child!
