A Rumor In Squat Sure Turns The Plot

In the Land of Squat by wary of the Rumor! For....

To cook up a rumor
you need only two things.
A mouth of deceit,
and ears for deceiving.

Once you speak it's been spoken,
and with that being said
words nourish the hunger
to keep these horrible rumors fed.

A rumor's infectious
and spreads like disease.
Like how the black plague
was really carried by fleas.

Unfairly so,
rats took the blame,
and now it's insulting
to be called such a name.

Ashes to ashes.
We all will fall down.
When rings of red rumors
skip town to town.

Pockets full of posies
won't help you my dear.
Believe half that you see
and nothing you hear.
