A Form Of Admiration

The people who to you would never drink a toast Those who are jealous of you admire you the most Jealousy is a form of admiration turned upside down And those who are jealous crave their own renown There's none of us perfect and 'twould seem fair to say That we all are flawed in some sort of a way And to be jealous of someone is not breaking any law For jealousy is just one more human flaw And though people who are jealous can be good and kind Jealousy it is not good for the mind But suppose we all have our flaws and our crosses to bear And the near to perfect people to say the least rare A form of admiration that is jealousy Though many with what I say would disagree.
