I don’t care if Sunday’s dark.
Monday, seas to test what floats an ark.
Tuesday, land to plant the park.
By Friday, looking good.

Sunday is like night and day
Monday’s clouds above a bay.
Tuesday’s plant-based all the way.
By Friday, looking good.

Chorus: Saturday, wait.
Sunday we can iterate.
By Friday everything looks great.

Monday there’s a lot to do:
Water’s wet and skies are blue.
Wednesday, other planets too.
By Friday, looking good.

Sunday, hydrogen through lead.
Tuesday, add a flower bed.
Wednesday, work on Mars instead.
By Friday, looking good.

Chorus: Saturday break.
Next week there’ll be dust to wake.
On Friday, who let in that snake?

Be sure to make eyes for the wonderful sunrise.
And just one tree that’s unauthorized.
Thrown out the gate, to an uncertain fate,
The world spinning round as they procreate.
Cause they took a big bite, and we got in a fight
Because they’ve learned to distinguish wrong and right.
Now they’re never good enough, not quite up to snuff,
But Friday, now that’s good!

Sunday, rip the world in two.
Thursday, birds, whales, fishes too.
Friday, things to fill a zoo.
Hey, Friday’s looking good.

Hit the lights if Sunday’s black.
Tuesday, Thursday: things to snack.
Friday, beasts and diamondback.
I still say it’s all good.
