I Dont Mean to Pry But
I am not snoopy she said
But I noticed their past due notices
They were laying out where anyone could see them
This was a bit of a fib
You would have had to move a few things to see them
They are divorcing, it is public knowledge, she added
You can go to the tax office and see what they pay for their taxes
I have been up there to see what all the neighbors pay
I am not nosy, I am interested
Then she began asking me personal questions
Leading them with “I don’t mean to pry, but.”
“Then don’t pry, “I told her.
It was the end of our conversations.
