Saturday is the day for me
always wondrously carefree
none of the angst of Monday
or avid anticipation of Friday
no fixed obligations
all options wide open
a day at the beach
or visiting mates
can wash or shop
or lounge and flop
keep it commitment free
so I can just be ….
Saturday is a delightful
free day just for me
Sunday is preparing for the week
another five days before I seek
to wile away a Saturday
it is by far my favourite day
Sounds like a lovely day.

Fun… every day here is good. I am looking forward to this particular Saturday though – I’ve had to get up early this week to take my grandson into school… Up before the sun for me is not fun. 😉

Great poem! It certainly conjures up a vision of a lazy Saturday afternoon. I am reminded of the tune, ‘Saturday in the Park’, by the band, Chicago.Your poem has the same feel as that song…one of my favorites!

Wow nice poem to enjoy Saturday, Kate and as you rightly said Sunday is a day for preparing for a working Monday. I too agree we can do so many things on Saturday. I, my hubby and cousin bro go every Saturday night for dinner and then for a late night movie. Nice poem.

My favorite day is Thursday. It has none of the pressure of Monday (so much to do) or Friday (so much to wrap up before the weekend). Tuesday is the day when you get caught up and Wednesday is the favorite for meetings and more meetings. The weekends are the days when you have to get all the personal stuff done that you don’t have time for during the week as well as cram in as much “family time” as is humanly possible… So for my money I’ll take a Thursday. It is the day where you get to take a deep breath and relax a little!

YAY for your Saturday!
I’m trying, in my heart and mind, to approach each day with a Saturday attitude and a Saturday smile! 🙂

You are wise to make no plans for one day of the week – to just be and do as you please. I am loving being retired, when every day is like that. Such a gift, after decades of working so hard.

“Saturday, in the park,
I think it was the Fourth of July…”
Sounds like you’ve created a happy little world on Saturdays, Kate!
From the lyrics inaugurating this comment, you obviously aren’t the only one who savors the day.
My personal favorite is Sunday, though Saturday’s still very much in contention. Point is, it’s the weekend!
