I Wish I Was a Jealous Creature

I wish I was a jealous creature
the poor I would target
learn the skills that make them poor
and become better than them in poverty
life of wealth and riches is not interesting

I wish I was a jealous creature
the sick I would target
learn the secrets that make them sickly
and excel above them in sickness
life of good health is eating me everywhere

I wish I was a jealous creature
the four-legged I would target
learn the secrets of their mobility
and excel in marathon competitions
competing on two legs makes me get tails
