Maine Gossip
Gossip A La Mode


Twas a balmy day in summer,
All the ladies on the street
Had gathered at the Smiths home
Where they could talk. and eat.
OF course they said How warm the
day
And drank some lemonade,
Then gradually the village news
Was brought out on parade.
Had they heard about the doctor
Who was seen out with a nurse?
NO. Well things in Bingvilie
Were getting worse and worse.
And did they know that Widow Green
Had positively been seen,
iAnd her not widowed fifteen years.
In Il bran new Ford machine?'
Surely they all knew about
The scandal down the street
Why. The errand boy from Wool
Shook a Shimmy' on the Street
"And they hadn't even heard a word
About the parsons wife,
Who caught her husband shaving
With her nice new butter knife.
And had they heard the news about
The bride on Winter street.
'TiS said her husband left her
!, Because He got cold feet"
And so they chatted on and on,
These gossips one and all;
They didn't mean word Of harm,
Twas fun for them. that's all.
