Greener

"The grass is greener on the other side," they said So I walked over, and switched places with the girl there It was happy and dandy Her grass was demulcent and sunkissed It was indeed greener, For the first five minutes, at least First, her dirt had worms And her grass was crawling with bugs Mine had both. In fact, her grass wasn't greener at all. It was the same as mine! Her grass had problems, and so hence, I prefer my familiar grass. She preferred hers too.

Love this idea. Reminds me of an old story "Mountain of Miseries," where everyone adds a misery to the mountain but ends up wanting his own back.
