Listen In -

"Free listening my right to hear what I hear, listening in Secretly I listen to a conversation Be plain speak up, why you mumbling listening in opened the window just enough to eavesdrop on the conversation outside" I am not a spy but I’d listen in Didn’t mean to intrude just passing the monitor An ear to the glass ceiling someone taps me on the shoulder Am I on record gerund Just listening, eavesdropping WAIT Free listening my right to hear what I hear, listening in, "If you didn’t want me to hear why? You screaming. Telling the person next to you so demeaning; Your words liken rainwater that’s fallen from the eaves of a house. Even if you whisper I still hear all your business you seemed quiet as a mouse So! Ain’t no wiretap just listen I do that ain't my business but I still heard all this. Ear to the wall like a fly on manure Stood within the eavesdrop of a house Free listening my right to hear what I hear, listening in To them that have ears, let them hear monitor, snoop, spy, may survive. attend, hear, hearken, heed, mind. What’s next I Heard I hear Now I gossip, your rants and raves like water out a faucet If you didn’t want me to hear your conversation, I ain’t nosy you just should keep your voice in your mind Ha! Ha! Ha! I’m just listening in." I tell people around me "shh" as my ears to the wall and the door mine your business I'm just trying to listen in..." 1. 12/27/19 DATE WRITTEN 2.
