Fair cop . Of course it's "worse 'n" - what was I thinking??

Duly edited. 

(Kudos if you can find what I had in mind though!   )

[Bookman George]

So where are we in this game? Are we playing worse 'n as if it were a single word -- which I don't think it is -- or worse as a word by itself, in which case the 'n or than question is beside the point?

[MartinG]

I edited the original post to highlight worse only, so that's the word in play.I 

[Bookman George]

Thanks, Martin. That makes sense. Now to find a worse somewhere...

[Leighton]

Good things get better
Bad get worse
Wait, I think I meant that in reverse

You're sorry-grateful
Regretful happy

[KathyB]

One has regrets
Which one forgets
And as the years go on,
The road you didn't take...

[Bookman George]

Rain gathering,
 Winding into streams,
 Like the roads to Boston.
 Your turn.

...

I love her like the moon,
 Making jewels of the grass
 Where my lady walks,
 My lady wife.

[Leighton]

Sunday, by the blue purple yellow red water
On the green purple yellow red grass
Let us pass through our perfect park

[scenicdesign71]

Our little world
Is perfect,
A world that's just for me.
Our little world:
Growing my hair...
Braiding her hair...
What do I care
What they're doing out there...?

[Leighton]

Who out there could love you more than I?
What out there that I cannot supply?
Stay with me.

Stay with me the world is dark and wild

[scenicdesign71]

She was young, she was wild,
Ariadne.
She was shy like a child,
Had this funny dimple when she smiled;
Lips as soft as petals,
Hair the color of the sun,
Breasts--

[KathyB]

Your breasts, your lips...

 I didn't know what love was.

 I want you every minute of my life...

 I don't know how I'll live when you're gone!

 I will always be here.

[MartinG]

R: Stay a minute.

A: I would like to.

[valmont]

Me and my town
Battered about
Everyone in it
Would like to get out
But me and my town,
We just want to be loved

[MartinG]

G: I'm someone to be loved.
F: And that I learned from you.
...I don't know how I let you
So far inside my mind.
But there you are and there you will stay...
