...Let's make a scientific analysis,
Let's diagnose this Monday paralysis.
Well, you've suffered an overdose of sunburn;
You must blister and peel before you un-burn.
For junk your muscles could all be sold for,
From engaging in games you are now too old for.
You're bloated from a diet of buns and hamburgers,
Chickenburgers, cheeseburgers, nutburgers, clamburgers.
Your hair may be brushed, but your mind's untidy,
You've had about seven hours' sleep since Friday,
No wonder you feel that lost sensation;
You're sunk from a riot of relaxation.
What you do on week ends, you claim to adore it.
But Monday's the day that you suffer for it...
~Ogden Nash, "We'll All Feel Better by Wednesday," Versus, 1949

As long as the week-end was a disease of only the rich I restrained myself from saying anything about it. But now that practically everybody in America commences to degenerate every Thursday noon, not to recover until about the following Wednesday evening, I think it is time I took the matter up... Thursday morning is about the only part of the working week that is left... Need I call attention to the Roman Empire, which went to the dogs because it regarded life as a week-end?
Have I convinced everybody that what everybody ought to do is to start out clear-headed and get down to work at eight o'clock every Monday morning and stick to it conscientiously until six o'clock Saturday evening?
Neither will I. ~Don Herold, "The Spread of the Week-End," So Human, 1924

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you can get rid of him on weekends. ~Joan Shawback, c. 1991
