The Gossiping Shrew


Some people like to talk as if they 

Are kings and queens of the world

even though they obviously portray

a disgusting clam with no pearl,

 

Gossip and name-calling is all that they do

It fills up all of their time,

They like to hurt people, and ruin them too

They have no reason or rhyme,

 

If they come to me with bad company,

Here's what I tell them to do:

"Stop placing yourself in agony

because I will not acknowledge a shrew."

 

Talking of others may seem fun and bright

But you know not how ugly you are of a sight
