Isn't It Ironic

Life really is ironic if you think about it.
So many aspects of our lives contain irony
that is either sent by fate or man-made.
Sometimes irony slaps us in the face
and other times it tickles the funny bone.
Whether it be a lesson in life
or a lesson in laughter,
irony never ceases to be perplexing.

Case in point--my migraine medicine;
after reading the side effects I learn
that this product may cause headaches
in some people; if so, discontinue use.
Ironic, huh?, that a headache medication
may cause headaches--wonder who thought that one up...

Deer crossing signs--hello?
The deer never cross where they're supposed to;
that's why we see them sprawled out on the road everywhere.
And to think we were kind enough to use pictures
on the signs instead of words since we know they can't read. gawd!

Contemplating now...why do we pay more respect
to the memory of people we loved and lost
than actually giving them that same respect
while they were with us...hmmm?

No Smoking signs at a Pool Hall--isn't that one
of the reasons people go to pool halls--to choke
on smoke upon entry--it's like an initiation of sorts. (cough, cough)

In a hurry to get somewhere and you'll hit every red light.
Plenty of time on your hands and you'll cruise right through them. (road rage!!!!)

Getting what you need instead of what you think you want;
and finding out over time that what you thought you wanted
you didn't want after all. (did I confuse you?!)

Waiting in line for hours for a popular toy for your child;
only to find them playing in the discarded
refrigerator cardboard box and having the time of their lives! weeeeee!

In my case--loving the smell of coffee; but not a coffee drinker.
Hating the smell of eggs; but loving to eat em. Yummm...

When you look too hard for answers they are difficult to find;
and then when you're not looking at all--the answer appears. (poof!)

Yes, life is full of irony.
Sometimes the lesson is a bitter pill to swallow,
sometimes confusing, and sometimes hilarious.
But ALWAYS one step ahead of us keeping us on our toes...
