Those poor souls who think they will get farther ahead at work if they tattle on you...

Meena can drive Corona,
whispered Tina to Nina.
Is she a doctor?
How could she master?
Ney dear, it is Corolla....

The tattle taler seems so bleak
Until someone knocked out his front teeth
He screamed then swear
Did he even dare
To send his attacker a black wreath...

Stone pillars erected against the gales, 
Silenced in buried secrets deep. 

Hurled discourse from crested toppled waves,
Endless tattle tossed in a heap....

Voices 
I have heard many
Echoes of the past
Murmers  of the future 
Ratle tattle of the day
Do you know the most deafning voice
Its the voice of SILENCE...

Voices 
I have heard many
Echoes of the past
The murmurs of the future 
And the rattle tattle of the day
You know the most deafening voice
It is the voice of SILENCE....

The ugly small fry tattle tale thief
Slid to a quick stop much to my relief.
He was definitely mean
His tattle-taling obscene.
And frankly I gave him nothing but grief....

There once was a tattle-tail named Clue.
Told on all of his classmates but two.
Big Fred never got told on,
Neither did a girl named Dawn.
His class would have traded him for glue....

little minded people with so little in their lives
promulgating rubbish with their cretinous wives
ooo-ing over news of celebs leaving dives
ahhing over gossip from journos with knives...

My wings are in immaculate form
It would assist in keeping me informed 
I’d fly from pillar to post
In salons I'll be engrossed
Truth be told, I’ll never be misinformed...

Tense from Trump Pestilence

The thought of Trump  made us tense;
He kept bugging us with his pestilence;
We must tattle;
Losing battle;
For it never received any recompense.

Gossip?  Not I…

Does everyone do?
A little high quality 
Neighborly sharing.
Chitchat and tittle-tattle
The latest information…

Cages Trump Will Rattle

Have been conflicted by fighting a battle,
After all our cages Trump still does rattle;
Like little kid,
Who flipped lid,
And he like telling lies and on us will tattle.

.

she came from mine
           hind
 cupped hern mitts
     cauzing mine
          blind

  kissed my neck
      mine chin
         mine
          rest

         all in
          her
       Sunday 
         best...

Yell 'n tell, here and now 
And again felt myself yowl
I grasped that slant 
As the skirt of a poem chant

Howl of voice and pen
Shout, articulate, vast in gist yen
Quill 'n reed in actuality
O' I bend one's ear, tittle-tattle lyrically...

My feelings 
Are torn
Between forlorn
-Happiness interjectings

Wasting time
Wanting different 
Outcome abhorrent 
Big crime

Dream shattered
Love squash
Memories awash
Fear projected

Wanting peace
Mind battle
Body tattle
Long lease...

Boys made noise
  Girls hated curls
Toy soldiers for boys
  Real pearls for girls

Boys teased girls
  Girls tattle-taled
Moms got angry
  Boys went to 'jail'

Confined to their rooms
  Revenge boys planned
Girls fairly doomed
  By boys outmanned...

I really shouldn't order pizza
in a way I didn't though
because I ended up ordering Dominos
My taste buds made me do it
and a coupon at half price
I hadn't had pizza in so long
it was a treat nice
My scale and blood sugars
will tattle on me though
But that is a worry for tomorrow
today I feast on Dominos...

A Tiff A Tat
Tittle Tattle
Gossiping
Hate Occurs
Who Suffers
Mankind
I Want This
I Want That
Who gets What
Republicans or
Democrats
Split in two
For a Country
Of One
Unwilling to
Share
Red and Blue
Mixed together
Is Purple
Our Country
Is wounded
We all now have
A Purple Heart
Destroyed by:

Politicians...

In the house groups, I am a bookshelf grope
I am ambivalent in chatting around the weather scope
Talking in circles represents an ophidian rattle
Quickly reminded me of the impending tattle.
I would rather be here, close to the library.
To grasp what is going through your mind prairie.

Stuck Together

I often told tales as well as tattle
So thought that I should skedaddle
Lying is like sandwich with peanut butter
Which became a disaster which is utter

Peanut butter was pretty  sticky
And you know me being so picky
Seems so many storms had to weather
When both of her lips were stuck together.

I always sought after to clear up the tittle-tattle
    that continously  throws mud at my character 

   Incessantly  belittling  and throwing  sour grapes
   created to denigrate with contempt and dishonor
   thrown at my name.

   God is so amazing,  so amazing  he will not leave us
   nor forsake us, He will constantly  bring us out of
   our tests....

For heavens sake
What is it now
It’s running late
Just take a bow

The show has ended
I’m worn slap out
You both pretended
I ceased to shout

But now I’m tired
Of your tattle tongue
So much transpired
Accusations sprung

Far fetched tales
Exaggerations
A fishy smell
Is operating

So tell me, dear
What in the world
Has brought you here
With your lip curled...

If you hit me and I hit you back,
Tit for Tat.
If you lie to me and I lie back,
Tit For Tat.
If you steal from me and I steal back
Tit for Tat

This for this
And that for that

I think that sometimes this is true
And it should be so,
Other times its common sense
Not to tittle-tattle so.

If you do a kindness
You cannot take it back.
It would be mindless,
To expect Tit for Tat....

She was just sitting there, not paying attention.
A sitting duck? I guessed.
She glared at me.
Can I please finish the story?
I knew then I was in for a pouty evening.
So I was quiet.
As long as I could be.
A sitting duck? I guessed again.
I had seen the photo on social media.
She has not spoken to me since.
Angry that I know what she has for breakfast
And what color panties she has on…....
