Ode To The Rumor

An ode to the dastardly creatures known as rumors.

Rumor, you nasty little creature

You, much like a cockroach

Leaving the nest

Can’t be put to rest

You festering infestation

You continue to spread

Nothing to stop the growth

You continue to explode

Disgusting, horrid creature

You destroy like wildfire

The infection just keeps growing

Can’t be soothed with water

Nasty little creature: Rumor

Ha made me smile, clever idea. Interesting. Tendency to spread rumours create disgusting atmosphere really

Oh, yea, so very true. Once a rumor is started, it is repeated, tweeted, emailed and texted so often that it is nearly impossible to prove the rumor is false. Best not to believe them or repeat them when you hear them....but human nature does otherwise. A very good write. Lydi**
