Poem
I heard about your contest and thought I might get in on it. I don't usually gossip but I was waiting on somebody looking for a little fun Oh, it's about a man-a beautiful talker. He started whispering sweet things to me not long after we met and like a dad-burned fool I believed his trash talking. Can he cook, you ask? He can cook up the best damned pot of malarkey stew you ever want to taste. But pretty soon I got tired of eating his stew- too hard to swallow. I wanted him to start eating crow, but that man has no idea of how selfish and vain he is! I won't say 'trust me' because you warned me about that! Oh man could he talk - mostly about himself. I heard tell women are the gossipers, but this man told me things I can't repeat to no one, no sireee. He'd go crying and carrying on like you'd think I shot him in the foot or something. Grown man like that making a spect... specta....oh hell, making a fool out of himself over next to nothing, suspicious that folks are always gossiping about him. I'd say he has a guilty conscience but I don't think he HAS a conscience. I saw in your contest you mentioned King Wong Song. Well I got no idea who that might be, but this feller I'm telling you about thinks he's a king-least he goes around acting like one. I won't be ruled by no fool. I cut him off but he handed me the scissors. He's a pretender all right, but didn't take long for me to figure that out. No ma'am. His pretty words can fool other women, heck, men too for all I know, but he ain't fooling me-not me. You asked for the name of the pretty talker. He's my ex, Peter the Pretty Talker. Someday I hope somebody does some pretty talking to him. What's that saying? "Just dessert" When he gets his just dessert it will be what he deserves. You can call me a gossip because I just told you all about Peter, but every word is the truth, and the truth isn't gossip. It comes out sooner or later. 6/18/16
