The Gossiper

The old deacon is a gossiper 
He's like an old woman 
Though he's an avid worshipper 
He does not count as one

Deaconess is his old wife 
But like him, she's like an old toad 
For, what they do is to mine other's life 
Like they don't have their own load

Good one. Some of the best gossipers are right in the heart of worship service for sure. Thanks for sharing this one with us. It reminds me to be a better person and watch my wagging tongue. Sara

Thank you very much... I'm referring to a couple I know from here... They do nothing but to watch what I do everyday, just to find my mistake... But during their worship, they're like the holiest people on earth...
