Fake News Horses Mouth
True Story
Yesterday
An old lady told me
Sad isn't it
The news that Peter Kay had died
I was surprised because I had not heard the news
She proceeded to tell me
Her Son worked at the hospital
But it wasn't on the news
Because the family wanted there privacy respected
Fast forward to the next day
And a Google search later
I read Peter Kay dead hoax
Funny that because she claimed to have got the news
From her Son who worked in the hospital he supposedly died
Sums up Fake news and Chinese whispers perfectly
A lie read on social media
Embellished on by a gullible sheep
Without any evidence
Was passed on like gospel truth
And was bought hook line and sinker
Better to be a cynic
Than caught up in it
Make your own mind up
But don't believe everything you hear
Unless it comes from the horses mouth
I don't know about you
But I can't speak horse
