Solomon Grundy
Weekly life cycle
Solomon Grundy is a nursery rhyme character whose entire life unfolds in a week—born on Monday, christened on Tuesday, married on Wednesday, and so on until buried on Sunday.
The rhyme serves as a mnemonic for days of the week.
The name has been borrowed for various fictional characters, most notably a zombie-like supervillain in DC Comics who resurrects repeatedly.
