a spoff on how common sayings might not be so true
They say grass is greener
On the other side,
But that can't be, you see.
Cause while I'm thinking that woman's fine,
Her husband's over there looking at mine.

They say never look
A gift horse in the mouth.
But that can't be, you see.
Though her dad gave her away, I still
Think her mother's not part of the deal.

They say love is sweeter
The second time around.
But that can't be, you see.
Cause my ex-wife's husband now knows why
He's not a happier man than I.
