Green Eyed Monster

There’s a green eyed monster over there
Sitting stubborn upon a chair
Watching every move I make
He’s waiting till I make a mistake



But jealousy will get him know where
I do what I want and do what I dare
He can look and he can stare
He won’t be stopped if he starts to flare



So he’ll have to learn to swallow his pride
The jealousy stuff he holds inside
Don’t let that green old monster out
He’s starts to roar and starts to shout



This is a battle he needs to learn
To control his temper and not be stern
If he refuses to play the ball
He could end up, just losing it all



Sometimes anger gets the best of him
His jealousy rages from within
I’ve told him before don’t lose your cool
Jealousy just makes you look a fool



I know he’s the hulk but I don’t care
He’s very tender and likes to share
I just feel sorry for the other men
Because when he’s angry he’s not their friend



He's a green mean fighting machine
Huge muscles bulging firm and lean
They call him the hulk, but he's just a teen
He's a massive bulk and can be mean



So I warn you now don’t come too close
If he turns green you could end up toast
He’s just watches me from a far
Making sure nothing bizarre

Good topic...your light hearted approach entices the reader in the door....using humor is often more powerful than pulling hearts rings...in this case it works well! The last verse is fun!
