Sods Law

Who is Sod and what’s this law Sod’s law, what’s it for Mend your car engine, drop your spanner Can you reach it, no you canna Perfectly aligned beneath the middle of the truck Sod and his law, hard luck Who is Sod and why did he Let me get dog muck on my knee I only knelt on the grass to pick a four leaf clover Now I got dog muck on me all over Sod must have seen me on my way Lucky four leaf clover, no way Why did Sod make my self propelled lawn mower Go really good when the grass was lower Now, the grass is long as stalk And I cant get this mower to work This law of Sod’s really does stink Is it me, what do you think Sod it, sod’s law. I got one toe inside the bath And the door bell rang, well you may laugh So I got dressed and ran the stair, only to find There was no one there, Sod and his law Who’s it for? The garden gate was banging in the wind The wife nudged me in bed, go mend that thing 3am in a howling storm, 3am in the god damned morn Just when I reached that banging gate The wind just dropped, all calm that’s great Sod and his sodding law, I can’t take it anymore There is a million things like those above Sent to try, to push and shove As long as there is a law and Sod Make sure your shoulders remain broad Sod’s law, its staying, that’s for sure
