Jealous Edith Becomes Dangerous

Edith was filled with blind invidiousness
Everything Norma did irritated her
Edith could not release her envy
Focusing her attention on Norma’s every step
Every word she said, everything she did annoyed Edith
She began scheming how to make her enemy disappear
Crazy jealousy had turned Edith into a potential killer
She spent day and night imagining Norma’s demise
When Norma arrived to bring Edith fresh home-made bread.
She had no idea the danger she was in
