My Friend Murphy

Murphy my friend paid a visit today.

I won the lotto this morning
and lost my ticket
I was on time for a meeting
and no one came
I photographed the ghost of Elvis
and my camera broke

Murphy my friend paid a visit today

You finally gave me your number
and I lost my phone
You walked into my direction
and I lost my nerve
I wrote you a letter
and the post office was closed

Had dinner at my favourite restaurant
and lost my wallet when the bill came
Went to bed wanting to sleep like the dead
And they had a party next door…

This made me smile, i enjoyed this.
I lost my cell phone, then my washing machine broke.
So i really enjoyed this.

A jinxed tale. Kind of reminded me of a comedy sketch wherein tragedy will befall the main character at every possible turn!

Made me smile all the way through. This was delightful...! I am sooooo glad I stopped by to read your poem...

Will be in my library of favorites...!

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This was a great write, and well written. Looking forward to more poems from you.
