rumor was she smacked him over head with a skillet
last week he was sent to hospital with a concussion
had the prophecy come true?
Just a little fact about me and NOT a rumor,
but I'm more inclined NOT to play
with any of they
who don't possess a sense of humor.
Believes every crazy rumor she hears
Car that hit over seven thousand deers?
Reputation clear
Result of drinking beer
People believing her is not one of my fears.
What will the future be like--
If conspiracy theories abound,
Wild rumors floating around
And people believing nothing
Is as it seems, no truth found?

rumor should have stopped at our living room
not sure what happened
temporary insanity?
we discussed it
agreed to never share it with others
both lied apparently
came back to bite us in the haunches
served us right
knew better
Rudolph, again, got to pull Santa’s sleigh
Dasher and Dancer vowed he was gay,
Prancer and Vixen, they knew for sure --
That jealousy rumor was pure manure.

Gladys Sue Bea March was a Sticky beak.
Into our lives he would utterly peek.
She would tell everything.
Her mouth would fairly sing.
Thus when we saw her we would barely speak.
She had a clever way of sneaking in,
So quickly standing right next to your chin.
Listening with all her might.
It was not all right.
I think gossiping like this is a sin.
In the land of glitz and glitter.
Visionaires film moving pictures.
Acting out their fantasies.
Through love ,war, or tragedy.
Who got hot between the sheets.
To rhapsody's elusive beat.
As a plot began to steam
Audacity, almost Obscene.
Humors truth, alloyed themes.
Viewers rule, Android dreams.
Rumor sleuths, Tabloid screams.
Future jewels on a silver screen.
A mean ugly rumor was started about Santa Claus
It zoomed around the world with nary a pause
Gossips added to it, making it worse and worse
When Mrs. Claus heard it, she took out her purse
She recorded people and followed the rumor back
To a disgraced elf who was hiding in Santa’s sack
He was ashamed, when he met her kindly eyes
Horribly embarrassed, he soon apologized.
welcome,welcome one and all!!
join the antics have a ball!!
welcome to the rumor mill!!
americanas all time thrill!!

true confessions overheard!!
told you by a little bird!!
dirty laundry analyzed!!
and everyone is criticized!!
so spread the word as I'm sure you will-
you heard it first,at the rumor mill!!
Form:
I know i didn't say those word
that they claimed i said
But your going to believe them
and i can't change your mind
i hope you don't hate me forever
but listen to my side of the story
No matter what i still like you a lot
but i know you don't feel the same way anymore
I never knew a stupid rumor would
Ruin what we had together
I don't know why you don't believe me
I've never given you a reason not to

Chinese art influences Veronica’s living room
Dining area is black, stark, goth, full of gloom
Her kitchen is a catchall of a variety of junk
If anyone thinks she uses it, they are full of bunk
We did not see her bedroom, but I heard it has a theme
Many want to see it, but most can only dream
Veronica is private, she lets very few people really see her.
I have heard a rumor that her duvet in there is fur.
There’s a rumor going ‘round it’s my birthday today;
they say that I’m seventy years old..…no way.
too many candles to light,
it would take into the night.
When did I suddenly turn old and grey.
Some say I’m an old man and not too smart,
but I say don’t put the horse behind the cart;
‘cause age is just a number
not something to encumber,
and this old man is still young at heart.

She said this.
Chitter chatter chitter chatter
She said that.
Chitter chatter chitter chatter
What do you think she meant?
Chitter chitter chitter chitter.
I do not know, I say, not looking up from my typing,
Irritated now.
Why don’t you go ask her?
Oh, I could not do that.
Chitter. Chatter. Chitter Chatter.
I am silent,
Hoping she will get the hint.
But she does not.
Apparently I am her last friend?
Wonder why?
We heard a rumor but did not know if it was a lie
Because it came from a very unreliable type of guy
He said the Christmas faerie was bringing new things
To put on the tree, he thought they had rings and slings
The Christmas faerie arrived shortly with ornaments too
They were colorful and pretty adorned in gold glitter glue
She told us never to listen to that old gossip Master Jim
He’s always been a liar, she said, no one can believe him.
At first we heard a timekeeper was broken
But how do you break a person?
Or was a timekeeper something else in this world?
I looked around for evidence of time.
I found no clocks, watches or sundials.
This is a strange planet, I admitted to my captain.
Maybe because all of the time dials have been stolen or broken.
That would explain the lack of structure.
People were running amok, as if they did not know whether to come or go.
Broken timekeepers are no joke.
