Grass Is Greener
Andrew Wainwright
would i want my life
swapped around with yours
would i trade the mundane
for action, fights and wars
would i be a bachelor
and not a married man
life is much a muchness
so enjoy it, the best you can
some rides are slow and gentle
some are fast with fright
some shine in the daytime
others lit up at night
but the grass is always greener
whatever way you look
yet what we’d give
to see the other half live
on the other side of the brook
would i want to be famous
or blending in the crowd
would i want the city life
or would i find it to loud
would i want to be the other sex
with all the pain it brings
would i want to swim the seas
or soar the air with wings
