The Web Poetry Corner - Norma Jean Duncan - Gossip, Gossip, Gossip

Gossip, Gossip, Gossip

by

Norma Jean Duncan

Mary is in love with George, but he doesn't notice her
She put on a mini skirt, hopeing something would occur
All he did was turn up his nose and walk past
I believe he thinks she is much to fast.

Gossip, gossip, gossip you hear at the hairdressers shop
Women are talking like they will never stop
They're criticizing the famous folks, also their friends
While they're getting their hair washed, and some curly ends

If you could listen all day without end
All the things you hear would make your head spin
Some come in looking kinda like a witch
And go out looking beautiful oh! what a switch

I think the president is a very find man
I believe he is doing the best that he can
But some of the ideas I've heard him express
Sure sounds amateurist I must confess

Did you hear about my friend Lulu and what she did
Whe she saw the bill collectors she hid
She said their financial situation is in terrible shape
She said she doubted if from bankruptcy they could escape

Did you see the new car Carol bought
She drives too fast, someday she'll get caught
She thinks she's hot stuff since getting the new job
I believe she's dating other men, cheating on Bob

Cindy has a new baby, she named it Sue
When it was born, it's face turned blue
After staying in the hospital over three weeks
She has gained weight and has rosy cheeks

Wonder how many husbands Elizabeth will get
Lots more before she's old and grey I bet
Wonder if she kept all her city charm
Now that she's a country girl down on the farm

(All names and gossip are pure fiction)

Why don't you look at It's cold for May
