Gossip

Extra! Extra! fresh hot of the press
who are they talking about now
well that is just anyone's guess
as long as it ain't me I don't care
I will gather around like the rest of the vultures
to see who falls next, what is the latest victim count?
around by noon it's around the office
poor old Connie, um mm wonder if the gossip is true?
I am to scared to ask her face to face
but hey why don't you?
no we never do that here I am told
we just talk behind one another's back
until next week when we change topics and alas it's someone new
while it took a bit but the latest edition is out
guess what it's you!



*Just a little something I wrote because unfortunately I used to work in an office just like this, a new week, a new flavor. Isn't it funny how it is okay until it's you...
