THE GREEN EYED MONSTER

Oh my GOD,look out,it's the green eyed monster again.

Run,hurry,be quick,it's trying to suck all the power from your brain.

Oh dear, what can we do? I don't know if I can get away fast enough.

It is chasing me, the monster wants to steal all of our stuff.



Have you ever seen this green eyed monster up close before?

If you look close you will see from the boat a missing oar.

Don't you think it is sad to go through life this sad and alone?

We could hear the cries for help better if it would only use a megaphone.



I am glad that I don't have to act the way the green eyed monster acts.

Striking out in anger, seeing through eyes covered with cataracts.

If there was any one thing I could do to help, I wish it would articulate.

Maybe then the green eyed monster would find me more affectionate.

LOL I'm not really sure what or who you're talking about here, this 'green eyed monster...' I think this one should be read to the kids, right before they go to bed! Wha-hah-hah-ha! (Evil laughter!) Just kidding!

hey, Renee' Righteous poem!! I was way into it. We all know people that are envious and jealous. What a shallow existence for them to have to always want what their neighbor has, instead of focusing their energy on what they have.I don't know what is wrong with being happy for people for their sources of pride? Terrific poem about a great subject. Keep on spitting 'em out, Renee'
