I Don't Like Mondays

by jeffa (Bishop)
on Feb 16, 2003 at 17:22 UTC ( [id://235752]=poem: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Inspired from the chorus:
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down

(lyrics: Bob Geldof; music: Boomtown Rats)
use Date::Calc qw( Monday_of_Week Today Date_to_Text Week_of_Year Weeks_in_Year ); sub shoot_down { "I don't like $_[0]!\n" } my ($y,$m,$d) = Today(); for (Week_of_Year($y,$m,$d) .. Weeks_in_Year($y)) { print shoot_down(Date_to_Text(Monday_of_Week($_,$y))); }
p.s. while this song's message is actually quite serious, i see no harm in having a little fun with it

    And here I was hoping for "A Tonic for the Troops" or "Skin on Skin"... ; )

    Good job! ++!

    There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now.

      I once misherd the song as "I don't like Monkeys". Opps!

    Interesting implementation of the chorus.
