Bryn Strudwick Poet Rhyme

I Am Watching You

I AM WATCHING YOU

I work for a national tabloid,
Paid to dig for dirt.
I wash dirty laundry in public.
I’m not fussy who I hurt

“Hollywood star dating shop girl”
“Actor’s night of passion.”
Such salacious gossip
Will not go out of fashion

Now, if you court publicity
Or hold a top position,
I am watching day and night
(And I’m mad about politicians)

So, if conducting an affair,
It’s bound to finish in sorrow.
For all will know about it
In my gossip column tomorrow
