The Gossip Tree
** Image ID #2201110 Unavailable **


The gossip tree grows toxic fruit,
stretching bounds of absurd,
as lies continue to dilute
our trust in people's word.
Yackety yak around the town
go wicked tales to knock you down.
Yackety yak!
Yackety yak!
Enough deceit to make you drown.

The gossip tree grows toxic fruit
garnished with snarky tone,
and nary a chance to dispute,
applied to make you groan.
Jibber jabber throughout the day,
regardless of what you may say.
Jibber jabber,
jibber jabber
putting phony scenes on display.

The gossip tree grows toxic fruit
with malignant intent.
A flock of tales come down the chute,
and that you can't prevent.
Chitter chatter to make you sick
with their repulsive drama schtick.
Chitter chatter,
chitter chatter,
until you feel like lunatic.


Notes on the Trijan Refrain form of poetry
