I agree with you, Angela. Many people do not like to interfere in other people's private lives. I suppose it's a double-edged sword! Regards // paul

Ouch! What goes around comes around and here it is to bite Bob. Gossip in just the hearing will knock you down. Well done here Paul.

Hi Paul love this and am sure it will be placed if not come first. It is so true as well, exactly the same happens when women go to the hairdresser - I prefer to take my laptop and make notes for my next poem, but I overhear a a great deal! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.
