Jealous Mean Cousins

What a gorgeous hat for the Derby someone whispered to Lee
Several cousins turned to stare, they seemed jealous to me.
Using words like persnickety, nasty, ridiculous and such 
I thought they were crazy; I liked this hat very much!

The turquoise color reminded me of the deep blue sea
Pink fluffy stuff looked like chiffon tulle to me
I especially liked the pops of fluorescent green
The cousins poking fun came across as jealous and mean

A problem as old as time. If I can't have what you've got, I will belittle and make fun of it.
