This is another one that seems to me like a lot of fun playing with words, but I'm not getting the message. I feel a heavy weight of depression in it. I can commiserate with the feeling. I don't think a poem needs to be happy or even necessarily hopeful, but ... well, this feels almost like a defeated whine. The wordplay keeps it from falling more forcefully for me.
edit: I missed the word "Monday" in the title here. Makes a lot more sense with that bit of knowledge!

Everything hangs on words, including ourselves. Often we only learn what we think -- and who we are -- when we write. -- Roger Rosenblatt, Family University Professor in Writing
