“The grass is always greener”
or so they say ‘tis so
on the side we call the other
and ‘they’ must surely know

There are times when our gazing
just doesn’t make much sense
and we refrain from grazing
as we sit upon that fence

That fence we’ll climb clean over
or so we thought we would
to fairer fields of clover…
Alas, that fence was made of mud

The moral of my story is quite plain for all to see
You might have to get a little muddy
In your quest for strawberries

But a creeping vine, my friend.

Cute write.
