Murphy's Law.

There's a game that you want to see
So you sit down to watch on TV,
But you can be sure
That your team will score
When you've got up to go for a pee.
When you're waiting in line in a queue,
You'll find that the line next to you
Is moving much quicker,
They smirk and they snicker,
You wish you were in that queue too.
You wait a long time for a bus
Give up, start to walk, then you cuss
When it passes you by
Splashing mud - you could cry,
Oh why is fate stacked against us?

Murphy's Law, sometimes known as Sod's Law, - whatever can go wrong, will.

When you move to the next queue
Feeling proud for your due
The queue you left back
Will move fast track
Leaving you to rue
*sigh* Whatever can go wrong, will. And it did.
Nice limerick like always....

Such a beautiful basket of flowers.
I hate to think about Murphy's Law.

Murphy's law is one of the best laws there is - the most reliable if least scientific lol

That is a brilliant idea for a limerick and a very funny limerick too. Does anyone know how it got named after someone called 'Murphy'?
