After much consideration, I have decided to re-post this.  There is a long story behind the reason it was taken down.  I can PROMISE you that one day you will all hear it...  Or depending on how perceptive you are, you will figure it out on your own.  
(p.s hope you like my halloween costume..lol)


I am blowing the whistle,
“WE” are now exposed…
When they all see this
They will all know.

The bird has flown the coup
“WE” have been revealed…
Our secret is no longer safe
I’m gonna tell them how I feel

There is this guy YOU ALL know...
I’d say you know him well
I could easily say his name
But that part I won't tell.

He and I have this thing…
and
Well, it’s kind of hard to explain
It’s like an unseen force
I think he feels the same…

He is sweet and he’s caring
I’m sure you would all agree
I know you all think he’s adorable….
You tell him CONSTANTLY!

Can you guess who he is?
I dare you all to try...
He may not reveal himself
Too many “forum” girls may cry….

…p.s….you know who you are ..lol…so only respond if you are going to reveal yourself…
We’ll all be waiting……

LL, if this is really only a guessing game then everthing is fine, and I'd certainly don't wish to be a killjoy here. No one likes fun games as much as I do, but if it's not then I offer you this

The Gossip

A Cautionary Tale

There once was a woman, I'll just call her Mable
She would gossip whenever and wherever she was able
The tales she would spread, Oh! The tales she told
Ohwhy? She cries. Why am I now out in the cold?
She was thoughtless, that's the best thing I can say
Mable poor old Mable, Oh how she now has to pay

The fault with her, I really think you will agree
Is in not thinking before she spoke. Don't you agree?
Without a thought she just passed the gossip on
She believed that to gossip well, no harm's done
To pass on the tale might not seem all that bad
But I wonder don't you really think, my how sad?

Every word whether thoughtless, meant or not
Whatever it is, particually when the gossip is 'hot'
Causes someone to think maybe this might be true
But how would you feel if it happened to one of you?
Wouidn't you feel rather hurt, angry and betrayed
Prefer to leave, even while wishing you had stayed

Mable got her just deserts for certain you know
Words, the lies, it's not that easy to stop the flow
Poor Mable she's lost all her own friends it's true
They didn't want her to pass their own tales on to you
She's discovered that gossip causes a lot of pain
Finally Mable said that she won't ever gossip again

Marsha

(Now I wonder if anyone believes her?)
Take care

Poor Mable.  That is a very well written poem.  Some people take things too seriously sometimes, though.  I appreciate the warning...but this is something going on in my life, and I am choosing to share it .. as a guessing game.  I don't see that as gossip, I see it as fun.

LL in that case, have fun, and enjoy. I wasn't really I wasn't trying to preach. It's just that a similar situation happened to a very close friend of mine, and things definitely got out of hand.
Take care

I guess I have to spill the beans  

The truth is, YES there is someone who I am growing closer to every day... a person who I care about a LOT.  And yes, you all know him WELL.  However, it would not be polite of me to state the obvious, I mean his name, without his permission.  (he knows about all of this and he has been getting a kick out of it, I am sure)  soooo...

I ask all of you to help me PLEAD for him to reveal himself...he's reading this, I promise.  The only way to find out the TRUE identity of this man, we'll call him Mr. X, is if he posts a response to my poem.  If he chooses not too, its okay.  I am sure it would be because he doesn't want anyone to know he likes the Devil...lol.  

All I , we, can do now is wait......
