"Weird Al" Yankovic, "Why Does This Always Happened to Me?" from Poodle Hat (Mike Papa Whiskey)
Commentary: If the worst things to befall me yesterday are the worst things to befall a man in the course of a day, he ought—I ought to have—counted his blessings & gone merrily on his way. Instead of whining about it & feeling put upon—as I did—I ought to have thanked the Good Lord for His Providence. In the words of G. K. Chesterton:
An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered.I hope I learned my lesson, but only the next inconvenience, rightly or wrongly considered, will tell.
