The Gossip Room

The Gossip Room

© by Bud Lemire on Nov 16, 2011

I've heard what's being said in The Gossip Room

The place where people's sources are what they assume

Don't assume anything if you want what's true

Go to the person, ask them is what to do

Rumors are spread when all the faces are not there

If you don't know it all, it's only BS and hot air

Word travels fast in the place we have here

Someone could be listening, and it'd be in their ear

Think of how you'd feel if what you just said

Was going around about you, doesn't take long to spread

People passing by would catch a word or two

Fill in the blanks with their own words about you

What an imagination, you did that?! Oh No!

I thought I knew him/her, how could they be so low

A reliable source will win every time

Rumors go wild with lies from the grapevine

It makes me sad when I see someone having doubt

Making up stories they know nothing about

How would you feel if you wore their shoes

Roles being reversed, and it would be your bad news

Think with that brain God gave to you

Research the facts, before the rumors go through

Don't start a rumor and talk about someone you know

nothing about. You may not have all the facts. In fact I

know you don't. You may not know what they've been

through either. You may not know them. Even if you do

know them, and think you have it down right, you may be

way off. Remember: it's best not to say anything bad about

anyway. You keep your image clean that way.
