O perfect day!
O glorious day!
O day that dawns so fair!
O blessed day at end of which
One can let down one's hair!
O, Friday, you are fabulous!
Dear Friday, you're my favorite.
The day that leads from work to play--
No wonder that we savor it!

Can't help but smile each time I read it.
I'll savor it as a favorite, as probably everyone I forwarded it to this fabulous Friday morning.

A happy rhythmic praise poem. The rhyming works so well that I can almost see you holding up a glass toasting the day! Cheers!

This all reminds me of what the great cowboy poet Baxter Black once wrote. "Every day is Saturday to a dog."

So good and true, be someone working or retired!

Fun! A good thing (among many) about being retired is that every day is as good a day as Friday and Saturday and Sunday.
