Hmm, I'm not sure. The spelling is too good, the font size is too consistent. You even managed to get the italics in correctly.

Very poor. 1/10.

Thought you'd appreciate this lesson on the correct use of the word

"Ironic"

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

Hmmm, nope nothing ironic in that song, just a series of unfortunate outcomes, maybe that's the irony?

As in "That's a really ironic song" when in fact it isn't, so the fact that it isn't and the fact I just said that it is, would surely be ironic.

Or not...

Look! an elephant

Depends on the exact situation?

Need the knife to kill the bastard that's giving you all the spoons? Ironic.

Stuck in the traffic jam on the way to your job as a highways engineer? Ironic.

Raining on your wedding day, when you're a weather forecaster? Ironic.

The irony here is that you're all trying to state what it actually is, but you're getting it wrong.

Now that's ironic.

Is it ironic that I joined this forum to troll a mate and abuse 'losers', now I find myself completely addicted checking what's going on at midnight?

Isn't an example of irony something like...

'I moved to the city because I wanted to find a girlfriend. When I met someone it turned out she was from the same town as me and had also moved to the city to find a boyfriend'.
