Grass On the Other Side

I’m in love and happy but sometimes he acts crappy see my neighbour so manly and orderly oh! They say he isn’t good in bed. I’m in love and quite satisfied but sometimes he seems not qualified check out my boss, so caring and responsible oh! He’s a harlot in suit and tie. I’m in love and married but sometimes he makes me worried I wish for the gardener, a pornographer to his wife oh! He’s too rigid and without an iota of romance. I’m in love and healthy that sometimes makes him too wealthy see my colleague who fights for his family but gets drunk to forget all the challenges. I’m in love and very proud but sometimes, I feel like a fool in the crowd my friends and acquaintances are all singles but still lack the sense of responsibility for a home. I’m in love and blessed but still have to always clean up his mess look at my pastor, so upright and moral oh! He’s stingy and a breaker of the Oath of secrecy. I’m in love with children still checked out by other brethren for example the governor, who is flashy and funny but he’s married and a confident cheat. I’m in love and growing but sometimes it stops me from glowing yes! The honey is not tasted all the time this is also the same in intimate unions everywhere. I’m in love and learning experience and peace I’m earning if the tenth is missing, make do of nine like this poem b’cos the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
