HAVE YOU HEARD?

HAVE YOU HEARD?

I'm not one to gossip, but I have just heard
that someone is out there and spreading the word
that I have loose lips, which is clearly absurd,
so keep this between you and me.

I heard it from Shirley, who got it from Julie
who said that the rumour had come from yours truly,
I swear I don't tattle, I swear that is true - she
has just made it up, can't you see?

Now, Julie, she swears I was overheard telling
both Betty and Mable, that Edith was selling
her feminine charms to all those who were willing,
But that's something I would not do.

Now even if Edith was doing the business
with Tom, Dick and Harry, with God as my witness
I'd not tell a soul - once again, I must stress
Just keep this between you and me.

That's funny Allan and so true, especially in a small town. I've had people come up to me and tell me they had thought I was now living in QLD. As if! (Sorry Bob, but it's not everybody's Mecca). I was very naughty once (well maybe more than once but we'll stick to this once) and told someone something about myself that wasn't true (as a bit of a test) and it took 10 minutes for someone else to come to me tell me about it.

gossip spreads faster than bushfires in small towns you should know that Heather

I hope this isn't about your new home town Allan

This is why I am very sceptical of conspiracy theories.
If no one has talked, then I reckon that most likely there is nothing to talk about.

Thanks Heather, Maureen and Neville

There is no truth in the rumour that this is about my new home town, albeit a small town

To me, Albury is a big town! My wee town has a population of about 4000 but used to be 2000 when I first moved there. People think that because i'm not in the paper any more that I don't live there now.

That's called under the radar.

How come you are often in the paper, what have you been up to ???

Nothing of late Neville but there was a time when I was infamous! I prefer not to be.

There's a name for that Bob!
