Notes About The Poem

Life's too short for jealousy and its synonyms

Jealousy Is Not For Me

Jealously is Not For Me
By Franklin Price
1/6/2017

Jealously is not for me,
Try not to take it personally,
Not a good trait don't you see,
It's not the one I want to be.

Avarice could be for you 
It's not what I would care to do.
It's hard enough to wear my shoe;
Can't wear my own and envy you.

What about a little greed?
I have enough for what I need,
A roof above and food to feed;
Maybe you should covet me.
