Gossiping Woman

You babbling, chattering, gossiping woman Suffice to say you have said enough With your prattle, rumors and hearsay I am tired and sick of hearing of that stuff. With your tales and news and all the scandals I am so exhausted of listening to you as you speak With your calumny and all that dirty laundry Why not be quite and turn your other cheek. I am fed up with your stories and all your chitchat All the while you are destroying someones reputation Stop your meddling, small talk and your whispering Haven’t you already caused enough defamation. Your malicious blather is making me sick While you cause injury and wrong with such intense Now you cry and blether and give everyone an earful When friends or family don't come to your defense. You tattling, busybody with all your tidbits You don’t care who you talk about or who you hurt Why not shut up and clean up your own idle talk Before someone notices that you have your own dirt. You clucking, Bwaking, annoying, irritable woman You gossip as though to make your own life better Your thoughts are no cleaner than a garbage bin And you are, but a bothersome, jealous, agonizing fretter. I am tired of your lies and all of your stories With all of your derogatory stories and it’s smut Why don’t you just sit down and read a good book And then stop gossiping and keep your mouth shut.
