I'M Not

My friend called from Arizona Says it's pretty hot, He sent me a little gift, He's in Arizona, But I'm not. My sister-in-law went to Europe Told me to give it a thought, Sent me a lovely postcard, She's in Europe, but I'm not. My neighbour is moving to the coast For his house he got a lot, He's living by the ocean He's on the coast, but I'm not. My girfriend is a computer whiz Was always from the start, She bought herself the best there is, She's smart, but I'm not. My ex- husband is very rich Lots of things he's bought, He drives a brand new fancy car, He's rich, but I'm not. I know many different people And love they've often sought, Not one friend to call their own, They're unhappy...BUT I'M NOT. Lynn Barany
