SPILLING THE BEANS!

Four ladies of a certain age went out one day to dine,

Eating well and quaffing, too, glass upon glass of wine.

Of course, they all got tiddly and began to tell the truth

About the little secrets they had treasured since their youth.

Noleen was the first to speak....'If I admit to you

A certain little secret, will you all admit one too?'

'Of course we will!' the others said, each with a little grin;

'Go on, Noleen! Spill the beans! We will, if you begin!'

'Well' said Noleen, blushing, but pulling out all the stops,

'I'm a Kleptomaniac! I steal things from the shops'.

There was a lengthy silence, then Patsy said 'All right!

I'm an Alcoholic! I get blotto every night!'

Freda paused a second  but she plucked up courage then

Saying 'Well, I'm a Nymphomaniac; I can't get enough of men!'

Bea sat and contemplated and the others watched wide-eyed;

What could she possibly tell them that could keep them satisfied?

Bea said 'What I've heard today could stay within four walls,

But I confess I'm a Gossip!

I'm off to  make some calls!'
