Merry Monday to me,
To Absurdity!
I'm as free as the eagle
And as wild as the sea.
Terry Tuesday to Aunt,
I know what I want:
A nonagon castle,
And a Nordic rune font.
Weary Wednesday on high.
I feel I could cry.
But I'll keep on smiling,
And I'll pass by and by.
Thursday Futhark is bold,
A font to behold!
Will it tell your fortune,
Or leave it untold?
The Vikings went west.
Their boats were the best.
But Friday was Freya's -
Better let the men rest.
Saturday is Greek;
One day of the week.
The time god's Roman name -
Chronos must be piqued.
Some Sunday comes here.
The words are not dear.
You're reading this poem;
You're a Wise One, it's clear.
Merry January to you,
We haven't a clue
To the arcane mysteries
Of Pentacles Two.
February's Brigid
On Imbolc's not frigid.
Rosie the Riveter,
And smith gods rigid.
March eggs are jewels,
Leave presents, make tools.
Flowers on doorknobs
Are well taught at school.
April, as a rule,
Shows all as a fool.
Is the hat red or yellow?
A white or green jewel?
Bright May Day to all,
A glorious ball.
The Fairies come dancing
Away from their hall.
Water June presents a feast;
Give Yemaya fish and yeast.
Santeros give Olokun
That the sea gives its beasts.
Bitter July is sweet,
Decline from the street.
Seed the sun, 'cede the Sun;
Death plants the replete.
August hails Fisher King.
The meaning of the thing
Is to ask many question;
Thus enable healing.

Original verses by Mildred J. Hill:
Good morning to you,
Good morning to you,
Good morning to you,
Good morning to you.
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday, dear name,
Happy birthday to you!
Common Parodies:
And Many More, on channel four,
And Frankenstein on channel nine,
And Scooby Do on channel two,
Happy birthday to you,
You live in a zoo.
You look like a monkey
And you smell like one, too |
Fehu owning is rich,
There's plenty more than a stitch.
A cow happily social,
Do not enslave a witch.
Mighty Uruz is strong,
His running is long.
Shaping power and pattern;
Domination is wrong.
Force Thurisa generates
Fiery cauldron rejeuvenates
A vital catalyst;
Recall that evil may wait.
Ansuz inspires
With signal fires
And the power of names.
No delusion desires.
Raido chariot to Sun,
Time for a vacation.
Rise to an evolved plane.
Crisis of death none.
Kano torch or beacon
Reveals a vision.
The hearth fire of life
Loss of illusion.
Gebo is generous,
Contract and entrust.
Sacrifice and partnership;
Balance bribes in dust.
Wunjo ecstatic joy
Take care to be coy.
Spirit success and reward.
Berzerking destroys.
Hagalaz weathers well.
Tempered hail and trial.
Controlled crisis and completion,
Hardship painful to tell.
Will of Nauthiz delays.
Patience sees your own blaze.
Restrict the resistance;
Fredom's less than a phase.
Isa fights to standstill.
Turn inward the will.
Reinforce all the others . . .
Beware giving trust ill.
Jera's spokes of the year.
Enjoy happiness dear.
Breakthrough, harvest fields;
Major change will cause fear.
Eihwaz dependable,
enlight, endurable.
Indestructable.
Perth's initiation
Gives chance more to be won.
The female has power.
She knows no stagnation.
Algiz shields the blow.
Channels more for to know.
Hold the position.
Gods, let no danger flow.
Sowelu's force is life.
Achievement is rife.
The sun shines on wholeness;
Bad counsel breaks strife.
Teiwaz leads the author.
Analysis of honor.
Willingness to sacfifice
Do not shut that door.
Berkana springs high
Birth grows to the sky.
No family problems,
Leave back anxiety.
Ehwaz's horses transport.
Partnership is best rapport.
Harmony and teamwork;
Changelessness you must deport.
Mannaz Self is all humans.
Attitude to foes and friends.
Ability and forethought.
Helpless death's depression.
Laguz flows to the sea
As life energy.
The Underworld's mysteries
Suicide possibility.
Inguz common sense of man.
Rest at home where it began.
You're free from loose ends.
Labor might be impotant.
Daguz breakthrough of day.
Will to transform, not pray.
Ideal certainty.
Blindly ending the way.
Othila is home
Property leads to Om.
Birthland and religion
Chaos, bad karma condone.
