THE JOKE’S ON WHO?
Philip the reader
on predicting a type of Chaos Theory,
Let Mary in on playing a joke
about something that isn’t entirely true
Just to see what loose lips will do…
So Mary using a lisp told Susan
things in private about so & so
Susan whispered in confidence
to Thelma about stuff she had heard…
Thelma couldn’t keep it to herself
so she let Louise and Loretta know
The humming birds continued
to sow rumours from their group…
In a little while cacophony spread
like wild fire through out the town
Now the whole town is gossiping
adding flavour to the vibes
about so & so
and who did and said what…
Philip ‘the joker’ now concludes
that because gossip loves gossip,
it is more common
that human nature prefers the lie
without seeking the evidence of truth
Guess what…the joke’s on who?
