It’s Hard to Be Original

I had a conversation with Saturday.

I said, “What will you be bringing tomorrow?”

Saturday said, “I never plan ahead. I make it up as I go along. I’m not like Friday, leaving nothing to chance. Friday writes it all down the day before, word for word.”

I said, “So Friday wrote what we’re saying now yesterday?”

Saturday hesitated responding.

I said, “Even the hesitation?”

Saturday put its head in its hands.
