The Gossip and the Ear
The Gossip and the Ear
A gossiper will stir the pot
they’ll say what is; they’ll say what’s not;
they stir and stir till what they’ve got
is stench and putrid words that rot.
But gossipers I do not fear;
they only say the things they hear.
The ones I fear the most is clear:
the one who has the willing ear.
