Did you hear about Sammy?
She is having an affair
Jane whispered to Mrs Kay
While they were doing up their hair
Psst, Lee, you hear about Tammy?
She is having an affair
Kay had heard the S as T
Kay's condition is not rare!
Lee asked Rose, heard about Tracy?
Something's awful with her hair
And she has to shave all bald
That's a terrible nightmare
Rose told Anne, LATEST on Macy
She is working as au pair
Think her family's sold it all
Every table, every chair
Anne passed to May, NEWS on Mandy
She's had work done on her pair!
Implants, plastic surgery too
Unreal looking, I declare!

I was reminded of a game we played as kids, 'pass the message', and how hilariously distorted the message was when spoken out by the last person in the line.
Well, gossiping can be dangerous and poisonous as the story can get muddled and embellished along the way, creating anger and confusion. These days there is so much fake news too. I just shut my ears to a neighbour's gossip this morning, hence this piece!
Apparently, men can gossip more than women (read in a women's magazine)!,

A very clever and witty write!
Thanks Draven.
Kudos dear Rozina, for the essential topic you chose, that did make me giggle but how tragic its true….the fake nuisance can cause huge distress…a havoc to too many innocents…and the trivia about gossips, LOL…
Yes it's awful. Thank you.
Funny, but true to life! We used to call it "Chinese whispers" when we were children. I suppose that particular term is politically incorrect these days! I enjoyed the read!
Thank you.
Gossip and backbiting can be very dangerous and hurtful like you convey well in your message. We played the same game as children though i believe we called it something else. Great poem!
Thank you.

Talk about it! Gossiping is just embedded in some, and it's downright annoying. Thanks for the entertainment though!
Thank you.
I think we all gossip though not in a malicious way, that's the reserve of a precious few thankfully.
Thoroughly enjoyed reading your post today. This one of the great things about MPS we get to see creative minds writing on subjects which surprise and please. What a varied and talented bunch we are.
Thank you dusk. The MPS group is so encouraging and inspiring.
Communication is so complicated that even between two people misunderstandings frequently occur, let alone as more people get added to the chain. Great poem.
True. Thank you.
Good fun words Rozina. Gossip can be fun if taken in a light hearted way.
