Gossips

Oh!.. the froth and thrill of it all
the effervescent coaxing call
chances of glory and fame to come
when secrets are told and legends become

Oh urban myths that passage well
gossips portray the exaggerations they tell
and uproar and disbelief follow the chime
for whom the bell tolls this particular time

Oh tell me a secret of wicked ways
of what she does and what he says
I'll purchase the rights to broadcast the tale
and plug in the mikes with which to regale

Then when the story becomes mundane
We'll just make it up .. rehash it again
and tell the world as the centre of attention
of the life we killed with our invention
