Seeing the bigger picture!

 

What’s eating you?

Bats in the belfry, squirrels in the attic,

The car don’t start, it’s broke in automatic,

The eldest had a date, uses mine, it too broke down, she got there late,

Water leaking from the drainage stack, from a hole in the back,

The lights not working now I’m afraid, but don’t like using poison bait,

The wife mad at me for all the trouble, me too I’m seeing double,

And it’s only Tuesday, and they keep on coming without delay,

Mr. Murphy is on a roll, in short, took a whole years toll,

But in the larger picture, there are eruptions in china,

Tampons in Burma, gingivitis in Darfur, and funny money in Zim Zum,

Peace talks in Palestine, and so on, otherwise everything is just fine, I’m surprised I found the time, to sit down and write you a line.

I just read a man who says we need to learn to accept the world as it is, and accept it serenely, before we can do our small part to change anything. Then when we began the change, we need to change ourselves first. But, I reckon Mr. Murphy is going to try to disrupt our serenity many times before we reach valhalla...good one, Jasmin...Jerry

Rockin' and rollin' with Mr. Murphy and all the rest -- the world keeps on spinnin' whether we take it joyfully or not. I liked this! Eileen

Mr. Murphy is on a roll

I know that guy far too well, and he always seems to be on a roll.

I catch your poem by looking at poetry postings on the main AD page, otherwise, Mr. Murphy (Air Force Captain really, 1949) seems to be in overdrive and overtime. Nothing works!
Your poems, my friend, stinks as usual but do you too, I am smelling of roses, so...envy me.

It seems that the entire world is in turmoil these days and there does not seem to be any let up either, wise words my friend...

Be always safe,
