Rumours
see that girl,
keep your distance
she's a strange one
see her eyes?
she looks groggy
must be the drugs
her mother says
she's stoned
all of the time...
she's a bad one
don't let her in
she'll steal your jewels
anything not nailed down.
she's a congenital liar
can't believe a word
out of her mouth
mention her father
who we hear is constantly drunk
her temper will explode
yes, she becomes unhinged,
or so her mother says,
best to avoid her
hey, pass this on!

I believe this is a sequel to
I believe this is a sequel to Just a dream. The title is an accusation, more of a denigration of the central character. No love, no warmth or friendship coming her way.
Sending you loads of roses and smiles to sooth your pains.

Rumors was a Fleetwood Mac album
That made them a real reputation and a ton of cash. And, yes, I’m showing my age here…. The album came out in 1977.
I agree Cat, a different title would suit your piece better.

Hello Cat,
I sense a play or a film in here. So much raw emotion within the verses, I would like to know more on the girl's history...
dear Jack,
it is a very long and painful history starting before my birth. If you really want to read it I would be happy to tell you through a p.m. (private message) p.m. me and let me know.
*hugs, Cat
