Things Always Go Wrong

 Synopsis: Things tend to go wrong, no matter how hard you try, per Murphy’s law, and you end up failing for no fault of yours.

Verse:

You work your butt off

Expecting things to fall into place,

And yet they go awry.

You leave all insignificant things aside

And give up any extracurricular activities

To avoid any distractions

And focus on the thing at hand

So that you get it right in the first try

But it still turns out to be a botch job

You try with all your might

And exceed your expectations

Even delivering on all fronts,

But someone stumbles

And spills moldy beans

On your carefully prepared latte

To ruin everything —

That you had so diligently prepared

And you lose again like you always do

For no fault of yours.
