She Said!

She Said.

I know all about poor Mrs Brown,
Mrs Smith told me.
Her husband ran off with another man
But I’m sworn to secrecy.
And what about Mrs Phillips..?
Well, I really shouldn’t say,
But did you know she slept with Pete
When her husband was away.
Carol, now there’s a one,
She’s pregnant so I heard.
But don’t you say I told you so,
Our secret, mum’s the word.
Anyway dear, it’s lovely to see you.
A biscuit with your tea?
You look ever so down in the dumps, love,
In need of some sympathy.
Now then, tell me, what’s the problem?
I promise, I won’t breathe a word,
I’m not like some of the women around here..
They’ll repeat everything they’ve heard!
