Mouthy mouthy gossiper,

Turning ones head all about,

Doing nothing good for society,

Never listening, just running at mouth.

Lonely lonely nosey,

You don't have to go far to find one,

Just check the trees around your house,

I'm sure they are having such fun.

Some say it's their brother Charles,

To others it's crazy aunt Sue,

We Don't want to get too offensive,

Who knows, it could even be you.

With slippery tongues you stand by them,

With self righteous words they will judge,

The only way to avoid it,

Stand tall, guard up, and don't budge.

So heed this cautionary tale of old,

Don't mind anyone else but you,

Be careful whose tongue Slithers by you,

Protecting your ears while you do.

The end.
