Green-Eyed Monster

Silly me, walk up to hubby
                                   Lady with him walks away
                                  Oh, that lurid creature lurks
                                    In the depth of my soul
                                It tries to make me act like a fool
                      Best to smile, walk away, and not to drool   
                                  I’ll be cool, they’re the fool
                           This Green-Eyed Monster is no fool

Hi there Eve... Very wise adage to stay cool Eve. The green eyed monster has a habit of turning on its owner. Regards - Lindsay

Thank you for your wonderful comment, Paul. The husband was very apoloigetic and took me home, but she was not a nice person towards me. Blessings to you my friend and Merry Christmas

Thank you, Elieen, for your wonderful comment. People don’t like it when they didn’t get a reaction from you, it just makes them mad. Blessings and Merry Christmas
