– Sometimes –

– the penny doesn't drop – the wheel doesn't turn – the solution doesn't work –

– the heart doesn't mend – the car doesn't start – the feeling doesn't rise –

– the battery doesn't charge – the time doesn't come round – the sentence doesn't make sense –

– the flower doesn't bloom – the paint doesn't dry – the bill doesn't add up –

– the answer doesn't come – the phone doesn't ring – the rain doesn't fall –

– the programme doesn't run – the child doesn't sleep – the party doesn't end –

– the effort doesn't get results – the eye doesn't open – the train doesn't arrive –

– the cough doesn't ease – the taste doesn't leave – the voice doesn't stop –

– the path doesn't lead anywhere – the news doesn't make a difference –

– the drug doesn't have an effect – the victory doesn't matter – the joke doesn't cause a laugh –

– the ear doesn't hear – the glove doesn't fit – the prayer doesn't get answered –

–the vote doesn't get cast – the scale doesn't balance – the prophet doesn't get honour –

 

– but only sometimes –
