Jealous John

Jealous John was angry all the time
His words were poison filled with slime.
Mother was a horrible drunk.
Home life had him in a funk.
His sadness paraded in the grime.

Hmmm...I think John needs to move on and make a "home life" of his own. Especially if the source of his unhappiness is his mother. Unfortunately, I suspect he is already blighted.
