Solomon Grundy
Solomon Grundy,
Born on Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday:
And that was the end
Of Solomon Grundy.
Notes
The Little Mother Goose (1912), illustrated by Jessie Willcox Smith, has the last two lines as:
This is the end of
Solomon Grundy.
