I think "for thursday's child is Sunday's clown" is how exciting a weekend can seem on a thursday, where you can feel the wonder/excitement of a child. Who will be at the party? Will you find some one special? Will you experience something mind blowing? But when Sunday rolls around you realize that nothing but the same thing goes on weekend after weekend and loneliness one felt on Monday has returned.
Monday's child is fair of face
Tuesday's child is full of grace
Wednesday's child is loving and giving
Thursday's child works hard for a living
Friday's child is full of woe
Saturday's child has far to go
But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day
Is bonny and blithe and good and gay
Monday's child is fair of face
Tuesday's child is full of grace
Wednesday's child is loving and giving
Thursday's child works hard for a living
Friday's child is full of woe
Saturday's child has far to go
But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day
Is bonny and blithe and good and gay
