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!
