Suitcase Dreams Limerick Song: two word challenge

The old woman's mind had no streams

On Tuesdays she thought "baseball teams"

but on Wednesdays and Fridays

She said "these are my days!"

And on Sundays she dreamt suitcase dreams

This is to be sung to the tune of "The Grand Old Duke of York" Here, I'll whistle it to you. That's it. Keep singing all the way to the end. Now how about a verse of your own below!

When I tried singing it, it went so smoothly and fun. I don't know the tune you mentioned but what a great verse. Chris Burnett

Perhaps you could submit it to the American Idol for one of the contestants to sing.
"Mondays she did laundry by the load - But Saturdays were made for Michelobe"
"because thursdays came and went so fast - Sundays dreams were meant to last."
(Sorry, that's the best I can do)

Hey, I thought of another tune--"There ain't no bugs on me," otherwise known as "It ain't gonna rain no more"

Her husband had other ideas
Than the suitcase she'd dreamed of for years
So in order to shock 'er
He packed up a footlocker
And booked them on a boat to Tangiers.

Carol, good thing you whistled it, or I'd have forgotten!

I really adore a good fling
Your limerick poem made me sing
I liked it so well
I said "what the hell?"
And sang it so loud my ears ring!
