I'm happy as grass
that never gets cut.


He was only happy
when smoking grass;
he was always happy.


i will be happy
little girl tells her mom
when I grow like grass


        Little girl who was poorly behaved
        was on picnic with others her age.
              When time came to leave
               she started to scream
   'I'm staying on grass,' 'til snake bit her on the ass.

    Always full to read your interpretations. Always happy… could be a problem if one never learns anything. And yep I remember thinking that my children were growing like weeds and unmown grass. As for the limerick 😉
