Callop Monday, pancake Tuesday,
Ash Wednesday, Bludee Thursday,
Friday's lang, but will be dune,
And hey for Saturday afternoon!

For (Fat) Shrove Tuesday:
Pancake Day is a very happy day,
If we don't have a holiday we'll all run away,
Where shall we run, up High Lane,
And here comes the teacher with a great big cane.

Both from English Folk-Rhymes, GF Northall, 1892
