My Experiments With Grass

The grass looked greener

On the other side

So I went to the other side

To feel satisfied

But guess what happened!

Now the grass on the other side

The side, I just came from!

Looked greener.

I was helpless and confused

I didn't quite understand

The paradox I was in.

So I carried on with my experiment

And covered the whole garden.

I stood on every side

And noted down my observations

To come to a conclusion.

Yes! Yes!

The grass on the other side was greener

Every single time.

But

I was confused yet again now

What could have I done

With this conclusion and confusion

Feeling purposeless

I was about to leave for home.

Right then

I saw the gardener

Enter the garden

I went up to him

And showed him the results

Of my experiment.

Judging by the look on his face

He was greatly impressed

He said,

"Mr. Observer

Let me tell you

I can relate very well

To what you've concluded

But there's a slight flaw

Seems to me there's one observation

Which you haven't included".

Concerned, with a frown on my face,

I said,

"And what flaw might that be, Mr. Gardener?"

Mr. Gardener said,

"I see something

Which you could not have seen

A patch of grass

Which was always sparkling and always green.

Now, remember always, Mr. Observer,

What I'm going to tell you,

The grass looks fresh and gorgeous and green

On your side too."
