Copy Cats

Copy cats, 
I never liked them, 
They stalk like they don't care, 
But they do. 

They seem glad for your success, 
But they are just envied. 
They congratulate and hug you, 
But they just stab you in the back. 

But what they don't know, 
Is that you will always be a step ahead, 
And they will wander behind. 
Just know you are winning, 
When you are being copied.. :)

Guess I never thought of it that way -- i.e., 'a step ahead.' Nice perspective, Komal! ~ Gershon
