LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE


from the ABC set PHILOSOPHICALLY INCLINED TALES

# 1

Newton’s law states that
To every human action
The universe has an equal
And opposite reaction
# 2

According to Murphy’s law
If anything can go ill
Horribly wrong or awry
It almost certainly will

# 3

Murphy the elder
Thought in his day
Things which can’t
Fail, will anyway

# 4

The Axiom of Cahn
States without questions
When all else fails
Read the bloody instructions

# 5

According to Chisholm’s law
Anytime that things appear
To be going well, you have
Overlooked something dear

# 6

It always takes longer
Than you expected
Even when Murphys
Has been accounted
