It doesn’t take long
for young Angelo to notice
a striking similarity
shared by people that deride,
and talk nasty about his mom and dad,
and look down their noses
at what they do to make a living.

All those people seem
to be rather ugly,
completely lacking
in physical attractiveness.

Angelo thinks it may all be due
to that old green-eyed monster
jealousy.

Another right-on-the-mark reality piece, Bobby.

Angelo is so right. Not all ugly people are jealous but all envious people are ugly. Joyce

Dear Joyce,

I don't know if I agree that all envious people are ugly. Jealous people, perhaps.
