The Green-Eyed Monster
The green-eyed monster has just peeped
His eyes around that corner
The look he gave so dark and deep
As if he meant to warn her
That some things are best left unsaid
That some are best left put to bed.
To visit once or twice maybe?
No harm in that she could not see
But harm once done to jealous eyes
Will creep and creep and demonise.
As if it were a godly thing?
Crowned and glorious?
A new sweet foundling?
But no
The green-eyed monster has just peeped
His eyes around that corner.
