THE CHEATIf you do not wish to
delete a poem, or a certain part of a poem, and instead would like to send the
url to Mick via PM for confirmation, enclose the entire poem (or part/s thereof)
between <!-- and -->
(ie. <!-- POEM TEXT HERE
-->). This will still save the text, but will make it invisible from
viewing (other than page source view). You could also add before the
<!-- something to the effect of "This Poem under review".
Murphy's Law
I paid it off,
Then the warranty expired;
I finished running the marathon
But ran the wrong route required.
The box said “this side up, keep dry”,
But the contents were upside down and wet;
My toast fell out of my hands
Landing buttered side down—on the carpet!
Hey, I won the lottery!
My ticket was safe in my house that burned down;
I threw the ball on the opponent’s one-yard line,
But it was intercepted, could’ve had a touchdown.
I calculated four possible problems that could happen,
Then, working on the solution, a fifth problem developed;
I almost got the little ball to roll in the hole,
Then my elbow got bumped.
Today just can’t get any better!
So, I guess tomorrow will suck?
My car rear ended a loaded hearse,
No injuries but the dead guy was still out of luck.
That turned out okay,
‘Till I was sued by the dead guy’s estate, schmuck!
If it can go wrong it will go wrong if given the chance,
Possibilities, probabilities and never-ending circumstance.
