Hot Gossip Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

I tell you in strict confidence.
Because I know you can’t resist
Passing what I tell you on
To anyone and everyone

You can contact by telephone
Or even send an e mail to
The choice is yours and your alone
I cannot control what you do.

I have no qualms in using you
although I know it isn’t fair
You do what I intend you to
Despite the fact I made you swear.

You won’t betray my confidence
and stick to what you said you’ll do
I know you lack sufficient sense
To know that I am using you.

I never tell you anything
I do not wish to be broad cast.
You have to pass on everything
you hear from first to last.

When the rumours prove untrue
Nobody knows I am to blame
They are quickly traced back to you
Whilst I maintain my own good name.
