Grass is Greener on the Other Side

When I was younger, (a long time ago)
There were a few quotes well said;
"The Grass is Greener on the Other Side"
Is the one I most often read.

Maybe it was coz I thought it true
Looking at people around me;
Everyone else seemed to be better off
And like them I wanted to be.

While I was in school and studying hard
I envied the people with a job;
They always seemed to enjoy themselves
Partying in a great huge mob.

Well, I grew up in time and soon had a job
That allowed me to live life with ease;
But try as I might, and believe me I tried
My dreams were difficult to please.

I looked at the people earning nary a thing
Yet enjoying life to the fullest;
That's the life, I thought to myself
To live like that would be the coolest.

So here I am, with nothing to do
Trying to enjoy life and act very cool;
I have everything, but still am bored
I wish I was back in school!

The circle complete from school to riches
And back in a great circular tide;
And now I believe in the age old saying
The Grass is Greener on the Other Side!
