MONDAY'S CHILD (Famous Nursery Rhyme )

Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace ,
Wednesday's child is full of woe, 
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for living.
And the child that is born on the sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay .
