Best Bad Luck Poems

If there should be a pot hole as deep as Satan’s pit
appearing as I’m driving, I’d run right over it!

My husband’s luck is worse than mine, but we’re a package deal.

They said with a frown
There was not enough down on the duck!...

Seeking mercy from tax assessor stunt.
His Irish luck grace

BAD LUCK AT LOVE

	I thought it was love
But it was just bad luck

My love life sucks

When everything seems peaceful
and all is going well
you'll find out that Murphy's rules
will grab you like a spell

then you'll know who to thank

The car you just had serviced
is spewing smoke and...

Sometimes I Gotta Laugh, So I Don't Cry
Am I the punch line for life’s cruel joke?

Moved to a small town to meet some nice folk
One said, "Come on over for...
