Gossips' Tongue

.



If you're some kind 
   of a celebrity
or one endowed with 
   notoriety,

not a few newshounds 
   want very badly 
to crash and barge 
   into your privacy.

They can launch anytime 
   their invasion;
no, they don't need 
   your kind invitation.

They'll publish secrets 
   from your diary
and show soggy details 
   of your laundry.

Then their public reports, 
   spoken or sung,
melt as hard candy 
   on the gossip's tongue!
