Ah! Not Again...

how-things-can-go-wrong-when-you-least-expect-'em-too

I sneak out with the house keys at 11'.

Folks asleep,

The Watchman's at the floor,

Doing his security rounds,

Blind Date at 12' 

Ah! not again...

I zoom on my bike,

Engine chugs,brakes fail.

I Ram into the signal post,

Cops,bent bike and the fine.

Ah! not again...

I walk by the street,

To catch the bus,

Boots trip on the banana peel,

Bottoms bruised, hairs stung.

Ah! not again...

I hit the pub at 1'.

Look for my blind date,

There she goes

My aunt nearby.

Ah! not again... 

I sit sober with the mug of beer,

Bladder feels heavy,

I run to pee,

Door's jammed and the Zip's stuck, 

Ah! not again... 

I wait by the taxi stand at 2'.

A rogue stares and the gay smiles,

One's behind with the gun,

The other, bent on my a*s,

Ah! not again...

I reach my apartment building at 3'.

Too tired to take the stairs,

I take the elevator to floor 10.

Power goes out,

Stuck at 5th,

Folks wake up at 5'.

Ah! not again...

was light hearted but easy to relate to...there have been times when it seems everything that could go wrong when trying to start a relationship did go wrong....and that "Ah, not again" thought comes to mind over and over....

maybe it is karma, or maybe we just weren't meant to get involved earlier because it might end up badly, later.

a fun write, with a relatable theme...

Thanks Jacob, for stopping by and sharing your thoughts on this write.
Btw, this write was my figment-of-imagination, didn't happen to me in reality.
I was just, having fun writing this piece. I dwelled a bit on 'Murphy's law' and it seemed an interesting theme to write on :)
Appreciate, you taking out time for this write!

I think it's a perfect story about being light-hearted. If it were me I'd probably blow up in frustration. It's also very relate-able.

[Abhilash Hegde]

yeah, I agree anyone would blow up with frustration.
It happens to us most of the times, not the exact situation but similar ones where you exclaim, ah-ouch-ooh , not again! :D

Thanks zwsed, for stopping by and taking out time to leave your thoughts on this write.
I'm glad you could relate to it, as well :)

sounds like the terrible, horrible, no good day!

[Abhilash Hegde]

hahaha! yeah it is.. :D
only that, I imagined it and so luckily, I didn't have the misfortune of going through it myself..
Thanks so much, Andronicus for dropping by and sharing those words.

Damn was this an enjoyable read, a figment of imagination you say huh? (sorry couldn't resist reading your comments and Jacob's review first) Well then good imagination !!! Definitely light hearted and definitely related by many (well I can only imagine ;) ) Haha had a good laugh. Thank you for sharing ^^

[Abhilash Hegde]

Thanks Errenn, for the kind words :)
I'm glad it made you laugh and you a had fun read.
All, I can say is, Imagining the situation is a lot better than getting all messed up on a blind date, he he :D
