Murphy's Law

“If it can go wrong it will” was said By engineer working on rocket sled As it happens he was right Try your best with all your might But it wont hold off your plight Change your lane ‘cause it’s too slow Now you’ve left, that lane will go If you drop your toast upon the floor Is jam side down always called for? A cease in fire I do implore Climb out of bath to answer ringing phone Just in time to find that caller has now gone Wash the car and wait for the pain For sure within hours it’s bound to rain Or a bird from above will leave a white stain Edward Murphy was his name But Ed I call him just the same As I know him all too well Just ask my wife, she will tell He’s always cause for when I yell
