Pardon Me for Not Fawning Over Your Big Promotion

Pardon me for not fawning over your big promotion.
I used to have a job, too,
and I was good.
And I miss it.
And though I have a job now,
it doesn't really come with promotions.
Just a Facebook title of
SAHM.

I'm happy for you --
I truly am.
But you'll have to excuse me
for not fawning over your promotion,
and for wishing it was my own.
