Monday’s Pants

Monday’s pants are fresh and clean,
Tuesday’s pants are turning green.
Wednesday’s pants are sadly torn,
Thursday’s pants have never been worn.
Friday’s pants are loose and forgiving,
Saturday’s pants are good for swimming
But the pants that are worn on the Sabbath Day
Are holier than yours, to my mother’s dismay.
