Allergic to the status quo
Comparison is the thief of joy
To covet what the Jones’ got is a useless ploy…
Just enjoy, and try not to resent
Wasting your time and now all your money’s spent!
Seeking greener grasses, when you know it’ll still grow
Past my fence I heard my neighbor curse, toil and mow
Preoccupied with pesticides, tools, and other means of control
Sod, water, straw, seed, and frustration when them weeds grow!
Its mulch and rocks for me, so I can better breathe
Cuz I’m allergic to the status quo and all that ragweed!
