In One Ear and Out the Other

R-umors that have been flying
O-pen your ears to listen; 
S-tay silent about the report, 
E-valuate the events that happen.

A-ugust twenty-ninth Tuesday, 
N-ews is heard to discern; 
G-et your sense in truth, 
E-arnestly dissect to 
L-earn.

L-et not the gossip spread
E-verywhere in the air; 
R-apid noise must go
I-n one ear and out the
O-ther.
