Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
each unique in their own way
but Thursday; she is special
The kids get to stay with their dad
so much fun to be had
and I get a day to be free;
a day to just be me
And then, my donkey of an ex
with a last minute text
took Thursday out of the country
away from me
Thursday gone so suddenly
So I pray on each and every Thursday
while my ex is vacationing away
spending thousands of my dollars in India
that my Thursday gives him diarrhea!
---------------------------------------------------
For Genre Shorties -
So the prompt is for you to tell me what happened to Thursday? Where did it go? What did it do? Did it have a good time? 100 words or less

Oh, that last line! You're full of the dickens, Priya, and apparently he's full of ....
Priya P. Jan 26, 2013, 12:52pm UTC
Lol he's full of it all-right! Texted me from the airport saying out of country for couple of months. Sorry but can't keep the kids. Who does that? I had fun writing this one ;)

Now that's a vexing curse, dysentery in a strange country. A not so noble thought that makes for grand reading. :-)
Priya P. Jan 28, 2013, 3:23am UTC
;) so glad you enjoyed!

Thanks for the feature Richard. Don't worry, not cursing all men on Thursday; just him!! ;)

Wow! Unique approach to the prompt, and entertaining to be sure (not so much for you going through it) ... let us know if your prayers come true. ;-)
Priya P. Jan 28, 2013, 3:25am UTC
Lol I'm sure I would be last to know but so much fun thinking and wishing it. For once, you are not the butt of my poem or story here. Awwww; don't get used to it!!!!
A. F. Stewart Jan 26, 2013, 2:09pm UTC
A fitting revenge, fingers-crossed.
Priya P. Jan 28, 2013, 3:25am UTC
Hehe ;)
Pam Brittain Jan 26, 2013, 2:13pm UTC
Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle, snort, oops. You can write a funny poem, make me laugh and at the same time make me want to help you get revenge.
Priya P. Jan 28, 2013, 3:26am UTC
Mission accomplished, Tom Cruise has nothing on me! Lol

While I find his insensitive last minute text to be disturbing, I hope you find happiness and joy in the extra time you spend with the kids. Please don't let any negative thoughts ruin that special time...cute poem by the way...lol
Priya P. Jan 28, 2013, 3:27am UTC
Naaa zero negative thoughts. Loving the extra time with my babies, they are my life. But boy, did I have fun with this ;).
The X with the runs on Thursday is something that the gods may grant.
Priya P. Jan 28, 2013, 3:28am UTC
Then I thank the Gods now and every Thursday ;)
Ha,ha,ha.

I hate to repeat what everyone else says, but that last line is terrific.

I'm so happy. This is such a great place to bash my ex!
