Murphy's Law Strikes Again

Been workin' all week and needin' a rest. Vacation starts soon and will be the best. Plan to kick back, get some rest and chill out, Get some things done at home within and without. Back yard cooking is high on my list, Bring over the friends and the family I've missed. Then without warning, the demons attack, First the sewer backs up, Oh they've got a knack. The basement is under two inches of water. It's brown and it stinks and it seems to be fodder, For horrible things like germs and bugs, That live in the sewer with long, black slugs. We call out a plumber who works fifteen minutes, For four hundred cash before he'd begin it. All under the table to avoid paying tax, On his hard earned money, but we got the sack. Looted and sacked and hung out to dry, Fifteen minutes work, here's mud in your eye. Then I rip out the carpet, it's ruined, it's toast. We must buy another 'cause this one is gross. There goes all our money, Now we have none. So how's your vacation? Ain't we havin' fun! Judy Ball True story of a summer vacation two years ago.
