Have You Heard About Jenny Lee?
I just stopped by to ask
if you’d heard about Jenny lee?
I heard it from the grocer
who said a neighbor told her it was true!
The neighborhood is all a buzz
so I wondered if you’d heard.
The rumors are flying
from tongue to gossipy tongue
they can’t wait to spread the dirt
don’t care where it came from.
Everyone’s in a frenzy
to say they were the first to know
but what the stories are all about
no one is really quite clear.
The rumor mill is alive and well
the nosy parkers all had their say
I think I’ll go ask Jenny Lee
if what they say is true.
After all they’ve had their fun
felt superior and without sin
as they spread falsehoods and lies
to try to do her in.
Let’s go see Jenny Lee
let their mean tongues wag
smile sweetly as they ask
have you heard about Jenny Lee?

I have not heard about Jenny Lee yet. But I'm sure I will soon, from my neighbor who all the rest of us call CNN (not kidding she thinks she knows everything even before it happens)
I got a real charge out of this poem. Don't we all know about that vicious grapevine that spreads the gossip as it grows and grows till no one knows the truth... well written!!!!
Well addressed ba-ja! A gentle reminder to everyone. Good poem baj-a 🙂
