Saturdays ditty –
do you listen to gossip? do you enjoy it? do you gossip? do you believe everything you hear about people and events or do you wait til you find out the truth yourself?
Chinese whispers
A little birdy told me so
Did you know?
This has happened just today!
Oh I say!
Really!
Well I’d have never have thought it true
And what just happened to you know who!
I’ll let you know
I’ll tell you why
Cos that birdy again might just drop by!
And tell me more news
You never know
It could be so
It’s true!
Through and through
Not a word of gossip for my ears
Just the words and wonder with a few tears
Don’t you hear things that people say
But does Chinese whispers get in the way!
Be careful to your friends what you uttter
For some, telling tales is like bread and butter!
Words get misconstrued
And misused
Our lives can be made to look so bad
By someone who is quite simply mad
Or mean
With a mind unclean
So don’t listen to what people say
Until the evidence is here to stay
People love to chit and chat about this and that
And that is that
Having a chat and that is that in Jill Adair’s art studio
