I would rather talk about things
Than the people around I know
For then they may talk about things
Rather than talk about me
Since I will value their secrets
And not spill them for all to see :
So keep the gossip you hear
Well within you , friend
For if you open your mouth
You will start an ugly trend –
Then be prepared that people
Will talk about you too
So do not spill their secrets
For you will surely rue.

Very good advice to all. Once you open your mouth, you open it to all the flies and vermin of lies. Nicely stated.
yes, exactly my thoughts too. thanks for stopping by. enjoy the day
And a ‘running mouth’ is a well of trouble that never runs dry! Good stuff safina. Thanks for sharing.
you have not only understood, but put it across so well - thanks for the input
Having a wee bit of trouble with minions...but never mind, an old saw "What goes around comes around" covers it too, I think, I hope....
Well put Nafisa. Serious advice.
i find the minions' sayings true many a time, though disagree with some.
you have rightly pointed out - what goes around, comes back: that's a fact of life
thanks for the feedback- have a good, productive week ahead
Bound to. Thanks.
great, all the best for lots more from your end
there are those who say the pen is mightier than the sword & whilst by and large I agree, sometimes I find it pays to keep the cap screwed on tight .. I like what I found here my friend .. sage advice and intelligent ink all round .. Neville
THANK YOU - GOD BLESS YOU
Advice there many who should take on board, enjoyable read
yes, starting with me - i should also remember to always practice what i preach
thanks a ton for the feedback - have a good day
You are very welcome, You Too
Forsooth. "...the walls have ears." Should have kept our secrets hidden, but it's far too tempting to spill the same, to more than our close friends, and oh! the ensuing effects reverberating through the very centuries! Excellently rendered with charming winsomness and great imagery. Thank you for sharing.
yes sometimes we do shoot off to the wrong people, who are not so close to us, and the consequences are always sad.
thanks for understanding the message..have a good day
So very truee. Great work.
thank you so much for your positive feedback
