Greener Grass

Aldo Green

I am thinking to myself
How much I love
This world I live in
It’s really not that bad
A little worn out
And fray around the edges
Slightly used and abused
Still plenty of good times left
In this old world
Beaten and battered
Look around
See for yourself
Take her for a spin
Check out the décor
Sure a little scruffy
Nothing a little elbow grease
And TLC can’t solve
Okay she has a lot of mileage
And maybe looks like
A beater
I like to think of it
As more of a classic
She leaks a little
And stalls a lot
She will still get you
To where you are going
Don’t decide now
Plenty of time later
Live now and pay later
We also have
An installment plan
Did I mention
All the colours
To choose from
But one thing
I think you
Should know
The grass
Is always greener
Over the septic tank
