Hi jlsavell,
Oh my, I sure got a kick out of this one! The gossip mill can sure cause some huge problems and sadly to say much of the rumors aren't true. Before I tell or repeat something, I always ask myself will this hurt anyone? If the answer is yes, I keep my mouth shut. A good read which we all would do well to think about. Thank you for this well written lesson in life. God bless and best wishes!

Hello jlsavell
Fun, fun with great rhyme and a wonderful array of unique names.
I hate gossip by the time it nears the end of the grape vine the story that was told is completely different.
Thank you for sharing and giving me a good laugh

Comment from DecrepitOldBag
My goodness me! What names you have come up with! This really is a very clever and witty piece of writing with a strong moral to it. I could not help but laugh. I love the way you have dealt with it all. I live in a small English village and gossip is rife. Basically, if no-one knows anything about you - they simply make it up! You're correct though, gossip is very hurtful. Beautiful piece of work. All the best to you.

Comment from Kingsland
A poem told in story fashion. It gets its point across quite clearly, but has a lack of rhythm in its lines. That may be the intent of the writer here. For the message is a main crux of the poem. I enjoyed reading this well written verse.It was my pleasure to have read and reviewed it... John
