Rumors

I heard the other day from a friend
Of a friend who knows a friend
No names…….
You know about whats her name
And that guy, the cute one!
Well you know whats going on
With them don’t you……
No way, how do you know.
I heard it from a good source….
Oh my gawd!
I gotta call my friend!

In Poet land,
Assumptions so often fuel that fan,
500 minds, dissecting every line,
so often wrong most of the time.
Only the poet knows for sure,
And she ain’t telling……
No kiss and tell here folks,
But look at that post,
He’s got a secret I know,
Gossip, gossip, gossip,
The circle has begun
Everybody come indulge in the fun.

Tragedy, romance, love,
Its very sad, so sad,
Ahh, Sheriee, where have you been,
In the night, are you the one I dream of,
The words of life we weave,
Interpretations, fiction, surreal,
Hey whats going on here,
Whats the real deal…..
I know! And I’m not telling,
Na na nana na.

Rumors Rumors Rumors,
I’ll tell her a secret,
She’ll tell it to,
A brand new meaning,
When it reaches you.
Ah, but I like this better,
A little tweak here,
A little tweak there,
All that impromTOE flair,
(did you read that its about Toe)
ka-ching….. hot off the rumor mill presses
get yours now, before the story changes.

pssst... did you hear about Lorelei and Deer..
don't tell Long John... shhhhhh
and Sigmund Freud is really Justin Sane...
and Menage Numero Trois is sending me secret
french messages... something about my Oubliez
or so I've heard.....
most rumors at passions are spread by Long John and Balladeer.. or so I've heard from Local Rebel...

Any rumors you’ve heard about me,
Have been greatly exaggerated,
Except the part about the size
of my cowboy hat……….

Woohooo gotta love them there rumors. Psstttt, c'mere, nah a little closer, this is real secret,"did you hear the one about me and Sven"? "Seems we're a hot item too, we wrote a poem together and had some laughs. Now I reckon we're running off to get married. Dang I wish he'd asked me first". ROTF....Parker this is a beauty and may I just say thank you for writing it. And hey shhhh, don't tell anyone that I let you know I'm a redhead and have that handy little whip, hehe, you could end up my next torrid romance victum.

I liked this the first time around.  Thank you for your light humour on the subject and for your support.  They both mean a lot to me James.

serenity, come and hide under my big had and maybe we could start a good rumor...  

Juls, I won't whisper a word about our hot and steamy secret romance...  

devine, you are a mystery but I'm sure there's something dark and tasty to be told..

Butterflies, what would you like to try my hat on, meet me at the usual spot....  

Marina, just trying to fuel the fan a little more.....

Parker, I remember this clever parody from before...and it's just as entertaining today. Of course, the good thing about being a wallflower is that no one's interested in gossiping about you.    

Take care,

you've got to be kidding!! WOW! a gossip circle of a family of friends???? how incestuous!  

seriously, though, one thing is certain... if you don't listen to it, you can't hear it... i used to have a co-worker who tried to talk to me about other people in the office repeatedly.... i would change the subject, but she kept right on.... eventually, i said to her, "I often wonder what you say behind my back when i'm not here. Please don't try to relay anybody elses business to me again because not only am i not interested, but i actually have work to do." This stopped her in her tracks.

I have two MAJOR pet peaves in life.... (1) people who talk about other people behind their backs and (2) phoneys/frauds.

Sometimes people have both traits. If you see yourself in this message, do me a favor... don't email me, don't call me, and take care because one day it all comes back to you.

Well written poem, Parker.

Claire, but you know people, they make stuff up then believe it. Like they heard it from somebody else....

Corinne, I heard you drive a harley, or was it a scooter.... do you wear leather with it..  

Seymour, yes I agree, I've been wasting so much time. The national inquirer is all you really need...  

doreen, wish I had some personal rumors about you, of course I would have to be part of them and I'd probably keep them to myself. ah hey I've got some vacation coming up....  

Paula, well nobody really knows me, so you can call me cowboy.... and since you said to ask..... tell me more about that fantasy stuff....

Whoopsi! Doopsi!
I did not know nothing about nothing
And now i know that Sven and Lone Wolf
Have a great relationship

When Sven comments to 10 women at a time
I never felt that he was trying to build an harem
But that he was true
To poetry alone
Just playing with words
Nothing more

Some women might try to go deeper than that
And that is sad
Unless it is meant to be

I think it is neat for guys and girls to be able to talk about anything
Without thinking that we will have sex or get married

Peace and looooove

It was only a miss understanding

we open our souls....become like open books....and then get picked apart by unhappy souls with nothing better to do...personally I am too busy for that kind of thing so I wouldn't know who is running off with who....it is hard enough keeping up with my own life.....but I DO LIKE cowboys... LOL.....

I'm a little dazed as usual.
Guess I'm not tuned into the grapevine. I haven't heard a single rumor, and I think I'll stay away from them. I always thought them such a waste of energy.
But I enjoyed your poem, dear friend
