An email just received is a sham,
stating swine flu comes from tins of ham,

Lies from directions I had not expected 
Offered in a variety of ways 
Apologetically 

Pretending to be concerned 
I sent them away 
Recognizing their imperfections 

Seeing them more clearly now 
Rumour Mongers 
Thriving on gossip 

Fabricated by clouded minds
Trouble makers 
No longer friends of any...

Justice has failed many I know
For you and I there is little to show.
You see, figures are not made from these times
Government bodies care about the crimes
Promotion is made on ‘helping’ those who dare
Endless resources pumped in to show ‘we care’
Youth intervention, counselling and a...

There's a rumour hitting town
It's party time real soon
Not a thing to wear
Have to ring to fix my hair

Didn't know she was your friend
Will she wear clothes this time
Best she does she's past her prime

Has this party got a theme
Waiting to hear...

Rumours, as close as a heart,
Deadlier than tumours,
They attack to a victim,
Hurl them down
It can hurt anyone, 
even when they are in town,
It follows them everywhere,
Screaming out loud,
"Your a disgrace!
Your parents shouldn't be proud!"
But these are just rumours,
Harmless you think,
They are deadlier than tumours,
And I've...

Felix is dead

I have a tail, huge teeth
Which I only use for food
I love the pack leader
I walk with him each day
But I’ve heard a rumour
Someone new is coming to stay

I bite through toys and
My jaws rip them apart
I wouldn’t hurt fly unless
It hurt my...

There is a gopher hiding in the gooseberry bushes,
Kaie, the town gossip told me.
I looked hard.
Got prickled by the bush’s thorns too.
Got bloody.

It was a snappily dressed gorilla. 

He was wearing a Stetson with a paisley hat band.
He tipped it to me when...

The most awaited result got publicized, but
Internet hadn't landed the soil of my country.
Televisions were tabled in few pocketed places,
Still they worked, minute and achromatic.

Viewers would holler in unison, "It's raining!"
I now understand the fluctuation of signal,
We'd leave...

The unicorn magician with the slanted eye 
Let out a peep, a whistle, a plaintive sigh.
Alerting two idiot villagers, name of Guthrie and Tie.
That things were changing for the worst, bye and bye

The unicorn magician is angry one said.
Maybe the village will be painted red.
Another...
