A Gossipy Neighbour

 #TSL Pandorathon 16 : a gossipy neighbour

Oh dear, oh dear

I’m in such a hurry

I can’t stop really

But have you heard?

No, I’ll tell you what

They found Mike dead

Decapitated in his garden

Truth, I swear!

The saddest thing 

You know I spoke to him

Last Tuesday for a get together 

This weekend but he couldn’t make it

He said he had organised a weekend

With his girlfriend

Really when you’re eighty

You don’t have naughty girlfriend

Do you think it could be her?

No, surely but you never know

Yes, the police is all over town

People are already pointing

You know how people are, don’t you?

How did I learn it?

It was on the news tonight

I screamed my head off

When I realised whose picture It was, 

My family thought I’d gone crazy

They came running to check on me

‘Twas funny really.

 I see you’re picking up your bag,

You’re going somewhere

Oh, you’re going to the dentist

Well, I’m off then , see you soon!

Ta-Ta as they say.

My gossipy neighbour disappeared

I was in need of a serious cup of tea.
