A Wednesday Night Mystery



On Wednesday nights of every week
     For supper we have pie;
Pie deep and juicy, large and round,
     A joy to mouth and eye.
It is so strange – I’ve wondered oft
     It comes on Wednesday night;
And yet is there, and never fails
     My palate to delight.

Wife knows I’m very fond of pie,
     She knows it makes me glad;
And any wife would rather have
     Her husband aught than sad.
She knows when I have eaten pie
     I’m generous and bright;
And so I find it at my plate
     On every Wednesday night.

I don’t know why ‘tis Wednesday night,
     Yet there ‘tis sure to be;
I’m not mistaken in the time,
     As you can easy see.
I know it’s Wednesday night; on that
     I couldn’t go astray,
Because it is the very night
     I get my weekly pay.
