Frankenstein Day
There are three known "days', and as a result, a little confusion. We have Frankenstein Friday, National Frankenstein Day, and Frankenstein Day.
Frankenstein Day is on August 30. This day is in honor of author Mary Wollenstone Shelly who was born on August 30,1797. She wrote the book "Frankenstein "in 1818. This day in in honor of her birth.
Frankenstein Friday is the Friday before Halloween. We traced some references to it back to a website on Frankenberry cereal, which suggests a commercial origin. Origin and details unknown.
National Frankenstein Day Google posts this as October 29th. We have not been able to verify that this as a true National Day.
Are you still confused? Then, do what we do and celebrate all three days!
WHAT BOTHERS FRANKENSTEIN?
Frankenstein doesn't mind...
Nails in his neck,
Screws in his toes,
Rain on his brain,
Or ill fitting clothes,
Big iron shoes,
Socks full of muck,
A zipper in his neck that always gets stuck,
Stiches, staples, grease and glue,
Skin thats greenish greyish blue.
But there is one thing that bugs him
One thing that never fails...
Scratching the black board with his finger nails.
