I would rather talk about things
Than the people around I know
For then they may talk about things
Rather than talk about me
Since I will value their secrets
And not spill them for all to see:
So keep the gossip you hear
Well within you, friend
For if you open your mouth
You will start an ugly trend -
Then be prepared that people
Will talk about you too
So do not spill their secrets
For you will surely rue.
