this is for the poetry please contest promp word is ENVY
“
”Be careful what you wish for”
Said the Genie with a smile;
But Samantha didn't listen
she'd wanted this for quite a while
Her sisters life was perfect
almost like a faerie tale!
Summers in the Hampton
Skiing each year in Vale.
"I want to have My sisters life
and she can try a life like mine"
vindictively her thoughts ran
as she formulated her plan
The Genni shook his head about
then turnned around times three;
Samantha was in the large house
wearing a three caret diamond ring.
Smiling she looked in the mirror
then around her new abode;
put on a hand made cashmere suit
then answered the ringing phone.
"The tests came back Ms. Samantha”
the Doctor sadly said real low;
"The tumors are malignant
your life has less than six months to go."
The Geni looked down with a smirk
I told her to wish with care
But selfish greedy people
always have too much envy there...
