Analysis of **Invidious
Many tasks yet to perform,
How does she make them happen,
She moves right through with adept hands
As if finger snapping.
The world looks on in wonder
As she decorates her plan,
To correct to reach, to always impress,
To present as only she can!
I correct, I reach, I attempt to impress
Yet no one seems to observe,
Is prestidigitation in
Her repertoire conserved?
What can I do to reach those heights?
I’ll devise a plan that’s bold,
To destroy, to malign, and attempt to thwart,
Attentions directed toward her goals!
**Likely to arouse or incur resentment.
