Tom, Tom of Islington,

Married a wife on Sunday,
Brought her home on Monday,
Bought a stick on Tuesday,
Beat her well on Wednesday,
Sick she was on Thursday,
Dead she was on Friday,
Glad was Tom on Saturday night
To bury his wife on Sunday.

Solomon Grundy,

Born on a Monday,
Christenes on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday.
This is the end
Of Solomon Grundy.
