I am a real life green-eyed monster For I was born with green eyes I try to keep the monster at bay But sometimes she rears her ugly head It’s something I’ll always have to live with My first memory of the monster appearing… Well I guess I was about five years old Mum would give us our pocket money You were older than me so you got more ALL it meant was you could buy more sweets than me I would watch you devour each one You never thought of sharing them But you’ve had weight issues all your life Whereas I’m a petite size eight…. I wonder who is jealous now! Contest - Jealousy Sponsor – SKAT 09~08~15
