MURPHY

I've got to have my Murphy fix!
It’s one of those lifelong things
And seeing beyond the truth of it
The logic deeply rings

What can go wrong will go wrong
Is part of those Murphy chants
He floats like shadow through my life
Mocking my daily trance

The loops and turns of life are many
The roads are curved and long
Murphy does his twisted dance
And finds what will go wrong

I've tried to skirt his caustic bliss
And have my perfect day
But in the end he’s always right
So I let him play

I let him play with my mind
And turn it upside down
Hoping when conundrums clear
I’ll be on firmer ground

But Murphy turns the ground to Jell-O
With his twisted humor
I end up even more confused
Reality’s just a rumor?

The more I live the more I know
Murphy’s laws run deep
He sees the illusions in my life
While my brain is fast asleep

He laughs at my pathetic fling
To control the flow of life
Sharp wit piercing all my goals
Like a laughing switchblade knife

I’ve come upon a basic truth
Over many tasty beers
Not caring what others think of me
it gets me through the years

Throw away the boring shoulds
The rule books and the guides
Look to Murphy’s rare insight
To enjoy life’s tangled rides

I’ll dance on through his metaphors
Mud, wet feet, and all
As I search for meaning
And my mind tumbles in free-fall

Into the looking glass I go
Common sense and humor cries
Murphy’s Laws are the Truth!
All the rest are lyes leis lies
