Pssst!




PSSST!

When Margie Higgins came to tea
This is what she said to me....
No, no, no! I mustn't say.
Awful rumours start that way!
She knew I wouldn't  pass it on!
I thought about it when she'd gone.
Very little holds a candle
To a juicy bit of scandal.
To think that snooty Poppy Slatt
Would lose her self-control like that!
Little-girlish and demure!
Just a cover that's for sure.
Saw her only yesterday!
Never thought she'd be that way!
It seems he was covered with tattoos!
What a piece of scrumptious news!
Half her age, or even less!
Any port in a storm, I guess.
Under the boardwalk, too, I hear!
Would I consider that? No fear!
Of course, my dear, my lips are sealed,
But, one day, all will be revealed!
Please keep mum! You must! You must!
How lucky you're someone I can trust!

    What a great romp! Loved it, and so perfect for the prompt. I must just say how much I like your playlist. It's so diverse.

    What everyone else does is ok - until you try it for the first time.

    I love this post. I have a water bottle cover that says, "I never repeat gossip so listen carefully." A secret told is no longer a secret.

    You have this great knack of matching the poem and picture. Was grinning reading this poem.

    What a laugh. I really enjoyed this one. But don't pass it on.


    I also did a short rhyme on rumor for my HoT: Rumor Has It
