Green With Envy
GREEN WITH ENVY
Young Bill always wore green, his clothes freshly ironed and pristine,
His shiny green shoes were always polished and clean,
But constantly consumed with envy he was,
An unpopular, young man simply because
He was obsessed with envy, for he envied anything green!
His friends new green car and his sister’s green house,
Mom’s green garden furniture, his niece’s pet green mouse.
Bill regretfully, always told greenish white lies,
But got away with them, as he had the most wonderful big green eyes,
He met a girl with green eyes who would soon be his spouse!
Bill bought his future wife an engagement ring with emeralds green,
The most beautiful green stones that anyone had ever seen,
They bought a house in the countryside so green, their absolute pride,
His green wealth, Bill could certainly not hide,
He became a changed man, but still obsessed, his new car is green!
