Gossip
There' a practice kuown as gossip
In this little sphere of our's,
That's a 'shallow form of discourse,
As common" as'sprjng flours'.
It is usually more popular
In the liit,le one horse town,
When all the population
Try to run their neighbors down.
There's a pertain class of people,
Usually the shallow clout,'
Who make it a common paactice,
Your affairs to talk about.
Ii'd an interesting pustitne,
And a very common fad,
They will never find youi .uerit,
They will o..ij w uuil.
They are blind to thuir own mis
demeanors, But alert for their neighbors' flaws,
How they love to scandalize your
business, '
And trouble, the are ready to caute.
When some puople hear a story,
To their neighbors they will hie
And make up a horid scandal
Swiftly tlje news will fly.
They will gather about in bunches
To discuss "'.'that awful thing";
Eyery one shows, animation,
How the old 'phone lines will ring!
Oft the choose the married oouple
that in loye are closely locked,
And will use them for the basis
Of the lies, tjhat they concoot.
If the husband, i? seen talking
With a friendly giri "a flaw;,"
Someone will inform the neighbors.
And will teli of all they saw.
"My dear Mrs. ouesl l'ua simply
shocked,
saw young Smith up t,own,
And he was flirtingVi'lh tttat .. N
vampire,
That horrid Nellie Brown,.
And do you know that, that awful
girl
Was almost In hs arms,
And he was softly talking talking
love,
And expounding on her charms.
And Mrsi, Jones! He's married
I've no,wn him all, uiy life.
And they say he's awfully cruel
To his delicate little wife.
Just think of that dear little
woman
Being tied up to that right,.
She fondly stays home with the
babies,
And he roams around eyery night,
And the neighbors often whisper,
That he rqns with Tillie Case,
You know that horrid creature,
bhe's the talk of this whole place,
t's scandalous the way they are
doing, ,
My dear it is just a shame,
And he hangs around with that
other,
Oh dear! I've forgotten her name,
But I saw them both last evening
Flirting on yonder knoll.
Well Mrs, Jones I must be going,
And say dear! Pont you tell a
soul."
