Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Light Verse

Chewing the Fat

I don't wanna hear it,
you grinning Cheshire cat
Go wipe your dirty feet somewhere else
Spreading your gossip fact
with a web of lies and innuendo
Your eight eyes
love peeping into other people lives
through a cracked window
Weaving your idle chatter with frivolous conversation
Meaningless talk ... deceitful here say doth stalk
Go chew the fat with someone else;
don't try to bend my ear, I don't wanna hear
I'm gonna steer clear
from your obscenely obese comments
But I have a message to deliver to you,
so come near
Rumor has it,
that your loose lips was the culprit ...
caused your neighbor to suffer a massive heart attack
And you kissed her casket dressed in widow black
Keep chewing the fat,
and pretty soon it's gonna be you
lying in the morgue on your back
Now go run and tell that

Paul Callus February 16, 2017 at 1:52 PM Gossipers are trouble makers, Freddie. I try to steer clear of such people who can cause so much pain to others. ~ Regards // paul

Chris Green February 16, 2017 at 11:07 AM Wow, this one seems a tad angry and loud my friend, rumors can certainly hurt another, true or not. What did Donovan McNabb say to Terrell Owens? "Keep my name out of your mouth" Or something like that. Very deep, dark and so cool.
