An Attitude for Mondays: a Sonnet
by Anonymous
It's Monday once again, and we are all
Anticipating work with eagerness.
Well, maybe not. Whatever may befall,
However, we must do it, nonetheless.
With such a situation, so inclined,
Resistance can't assist, but merely hurt you;
So I suppose we all should be resigned
To make from this necessity a virtue.
If eagerness comes naturally, 'tis well:
If not, it isn't, and it must be made;
For work, when it's resisted, can be hell,
Which we'll avoid, if we enjoy our trade.
So let us all be avid at employment,
Till Friday comes, and with it, true enjoyment!
