Binks

A long, long time ago, in a place far, far away
There came a prequel that should not have seen the light of day
A maudlin moody hero and a spoiled stilted minx
But worse - the great abomination known as Jar-Jar Binks

They took our childhood memories and they crushed them with their greed
And the plotless, pointless outpouring was very poor indeed
Yet with so much to criticise there's no reviewer thinks
There's any thing that's even near so bad as Jar-Jar Binks

One film would be quite bad enough - but that was just the starter
The careless, clueless cash-in merged and morphed to a three-parter
Across the nerveless narrative the only thing that links
This tear-stained trilogy of tripe: You guessed it - Jar-Jar Binks

So what's the problem with this guy? Why does he cause such hate?
The casual racism of his role and voice are quite third-rate
He sucks more than the film - and the film, quite frankly, stinks
His mere appearance makes you feel sick - that's Jar-Jar Binks

Who was it caused our throats to vomit bile and hate and mucus?
That hero of our youth, now steeped so low - George Walton Lucas
So gorged by George's greed the whole of Lucasfilm now drinks
Upon their worship of pure profit - they are worse than Jar-Jar Binks

I don't know what dumbass designed week and month lengths so that months always start on different days but I reckon they need some sort of reorganisation... how about this:

Ten days to the week:
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Chillday (no work)
Pooday
Cheeseday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday (no work)
Catday (no work)

Three weeks (3 x 10 = 30 days) to the month:
Splurgeweek
Brokeweek
Payweek

Twelve months (30 x 12 = 360 days) to the year:
Firstuary
Deuceuary
Tertuary
Quads
Penton
Sexy
Juicy
Octust
Nonember
December
Elevenember
Twelvetember

Plus an extra five (or six, in leap-year) days at the end of the year which are all non-working days and are called:
New Year's Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve (or Coolday)
New Year's Eve Eve Eve Eve (or Wootday)
New Year's Eve Eve Eve (or Awesomeday)
New Year's Eve Eve (or Niceday)
New Year's Eve (or Newyear'seveday)
{in leap-years} Surprise Bonus Extra Holiday Day!

New Year's Day is a Monday, but also a non-working day.

This fabulous arrangement would still give 251 working days a year, whilst also making sure you work alternately three and then four days on the trot (because five is really one too many), and get a guaranteed eight-day break at the end of the year.
