Murphy's Rules

When everything seems peaceful and all is going well you'll find out that Murphy's rules will grab you like a spell When you build your money up a bundle in the bank and trouble strikes at every turn then you'll know who to thank The car you just had serviced is spewing smoke and oil the fridge just out of warranty now watch that good food spoil Just when you least expect it Old Murphy will appear He's cruel enough to make you spill your last mouthful of beer At every turn he's waiting until you think you're safe the shoes that fit well yesterday today will make you chafe Your wallet's in your pocket at least that's what you think until its time to pay the bill then feel your light heart sink You glide along life's easy way it's such an easy dance Until old Murphy comes along and kicks you in the pants From my PDF book "Bush Ballads and Bulldust"
