----------------------------------------
Last night my anger resounded;
life was infuriating,
and I was out to use the stars
for target practice.
Not so tonight.
I've had a bad day
of an entirely different sort.
Murphy's Law is in full effect,
and the universe is trying to Get Me.
Perhaps it's payback
for yesterday,
and the rage unbefitting of a puny mortal.
Perhaps it's merely my turn
to have things thrown my way.
Whatever the motive,
it's time to duck and run.
Tonight the stars are out
to use me for target practice.
Aaaahh!
