GOSSIP
There s always the person In every town, Who has nothing to do But run others down. They seem to delight In painting one black; They’re friends to your face And foes to your back. They never have thought For the one they condemn; Who perhaps by «comparison Is far better than them. If they’d examine the fruit Of their own family tree, They’d perhaps be content To let others be. So here’s some advice, For whom it applies, Just keep a still tongue For gossip breeds lies. —J.P., Ngaruawahia.
