Where the Grass Is Always Greener

What sends the athlete to a sweaty slaughter ? What makes the thief cross the honour border ? And short man syndrome crave the taller ? Where the grass is always greener. The family man craves the bigger house The fashion model a thinner blowse The man at the bar a younger spouse Where the grass is always greener. Where the problems of life will disappear Where all our memories are souvenirs Where Highland mist will always clear Where the grass is always greener. Why let what you have slip through the cracks ? And let the voice within you subtract What you have bought by truth to attract That's more than where the grass is greener.

Excellent Peter, we have sooooo much, yet crave more, what's wrong with us ? I like the flow of your rhyme.
