Nursery Rhyme. XCV. Proverbs.

    They that wash on Monday
        Have all the week to dry;
    They that wash on Tuesday
        Are not so much awry;
    They that wash on Wednesday
        Are not so much to blame;
    They that wash on Thursday,
        Wash for shame;
    They that wash on Friday,
        Wash in need;
    And they that wash on Saturday,
        Oh! they're sluts indeed.
