Why, Oh Why

Why are there no ants around,
until you want to have a picnic?
Why does it rain everytime
you wash the car?
Why do people find money on
the other side of the street
from you?
Why does the phone ring
everytime your in the bath tub?
Why does the weather turn
bad, when the home baseball
team return home?
Why does the traffic light
continue to stay green
when you want to stop the car
to look for something?

Why, oh why we ask?

Very clever and you really got me smiling on this one. Everything is so true, why is that? Marvelous read. Michael
