Isn´t it Ironic

"An old man turned ninety eight, he won the lottery and died the next day" This phrase is ironic because a man who became rich having the money to spend in anything died before he could take advantage of winning the lottery. "Its like rain on your wedding day" It is ironic because your supposed happiest day of your life is ruined by the rain. "Its like a free-ride when you´ve already paid" It is ironic because you have paid for something you could have had for free. "It´s the good advice you just didn´t take" It is ironic because you had the probability to choose doing the right thing and didn´t took advantage. "He waited his hole damn life to take that flight, and as the plane crashed down he thought well isn´t this nice" It is ironic beacause he waited so long for a flight and then when the oportunity came the plane crashed. " A traffic jam when you are allready late" It is ironic because besides the fact that you are late, something appears which makes you arrive later. "A no smoking sign on a cigarette break" It is ironic because you want to stop working to have a cigarette and you can´t smoke there. "Meeting the man of my dreams and meeting his beautiful wife" It is ironic because you fall in love with someone who is married. In my opinion the songwriter is trying to show how sad some situations are and how are they generally taken by people, like ironic things.

  1. Bauti: You mention almost all the ironies in the song but you forgot to classify them. Also, you were supposed to choose which was the most ironic for you and explain why.
    The task is incomplete.
