Esther Leclerc - 'Hump Day'

Here in America we call this day
Wednesday to be sure.
The lazy among us prefer to say
'Wensday' - we ain't pure.

Came along a man with vision and drive - -
he of jovial bent - -
who crowned this middle day of workweek five
as 'Hump Day' heaven-sent

His idea has wrought great smiles and roars
from workers both far and near
tho' there are some who find it wildly coarse
saying 'hump' to boss or peer

Yet life is short so I always retort
'We don't have to merely cope. '
Lighten up, friend, and you'll see in the end:
'Hump Day' is a day of hope!
