Richard Lamoureux Poet Rhyme

Greener

I really like that grass, on that side of the fence
It's so luxurious, It looks compact and dense

I imagine me sitting, over there on my ass
Comfy and so cozy, that is my kind of grass

Mine is dissapointing, some may think it's obcene
It's not like my neighbors, his is completely green

Everything looks better, looking over that way
He works to improve it, by working night and day

So now I realize, My brown yard is okay
Green grass is too much work, I would much rather play

Timothy Hicks April 30, 2013 at 11:54 PM This is exactly how I think! I hate yard work... especially when all you get out of it is grass or a few flowers (why not be more productive and plant food?). I really loved where you went with this... though my mind went to other things when you said "That is my kind of grass"... LOL! Richard Lamoureux May 1, 2013 at 6:21 AM You kill me Tim! Try some BC Bud, I hear it's very good.
