My Granny
always told me that it was bad luck to cut my nails on a Friday or a Sunday and
I was always puzzled as to why. I came
across this little rhyme in an old book and wonder if she heard it when she was
a wee girl -
Of the
Cutting of Nails
Cut them on
Monday, you cut them for health;
Cut them on
Tuesday, you cut them for wealth;
Cut them on
Wednesday, you cut them for news;
Cut them on
Thursday, a pair of new shoes;
Cut them on
Friday, you cut them for sorrow;
Cut them on
Saturday, you'll see your true love tomorrow;
Cut them on Sunday,
and you will have ill fortune all through the week.
So think about what day it is next time you cut your nails!
Love, Liz

Love the old poems. I've not come across this one either .
I better cut mine on Tuesdays then!
Never heard of this rhyme before but it is rather neat.
Keep well

That is a wonderful little rhyme! I love your blog, thank you so much for sharing this!
Haha! I cut them pretty frequently because of my job, so probably on every day of the week, at least I've got all basis covered haha
