He Said, She Said
A can of worms has opened up
And so much slithered out
That every accusation now
Contains a seed of doubt.
A leer, a touch, a grope, a rape,
All met with a denial,
Including those kept secret for
Much longer than a while.
The lawyers pounce; the tabloids print
The sordid tales, supposing
That those in power had much more
Than egos for exposing.
And so we listen as each day
The accusations mount
Which soon enough will be much more
Than we can even count.
