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.
