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

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!

My lawn is not that bad, definately not the most luxurious in the neighborhood. Considering how little time I spend on it, I'm pretty happy with it.
