Three Little Spiders

Invisible words of gossip,
lips spewing juices of hate.
Surrogate gods,
detestable clacks,
encircling bottomless pits.
Squating in place,
hushed in soft whisper,
keenly, malicious cremate.
Carnivorous vultures
cloaked in shrouds of destruction,
luring quarry by harps and seranade.
Digesting faults untrue,
inside your rancid hearts.
Dolorous prophets,
chanting spasms of lies,
tainted in my blood.
Three little spiders,
praying prostrate
before the cross,
as ruined slaughter,
etch their ancient scrolls.
Primitive parasites,
with accusing criss crossed fingers,
in silenced shame shame.
"Devoted fidelity,
loyal and true,"
vowed these odious spiders of jest.
Deeply embedded fingerprints
of malignant sores,
upon my weary dreary soul,
you left.
Black widows spiders,
of viperous slander,
One, Two and Three,
you drained my fertile life,
and embraced
with a smile
of
death
my
name...
~Laverne

Gossip isn't scandal and it's not merely
malicious. It's chatter about the human
race by lovers of the same. Gossip is the
tool of the poet, the shop-talk of the
scientist, and the consolation of the
housewife, wit, tycoon and intellectual.
It begins in the nursery and ends when
speech is past.
- Phyllis McGinley

No one gossips about other
people's secret virtues.
- Bertrand Arthur William Russell

Gossip is the art of saying nothing in a
way that leaves practically nothing unsaid.
- Walter Winchell

Gossip, unlike river water, flows both ways
- Michael Korda

Live in such a way that
you would not be ashamed
to sell your parrot to
the town gossip.
- Will Rogers

It is a miserable thing
to live a life of suspense,
it is the life of
a spider"
Swift

Society
Is of naught but clamor and woe
And strife.
She is but the web of
The Spider,
the tunnel of the mole
Kahlil Gibran

"Gossip, pretending to have the eyes of argus,
has all the blindness of a bat."
Ouida

The most venomous spiders are
the Brazilian wandering spiders
of the genus Phoneutiria and
particularly P. fera, which has
the most active neurotoxic venom
of any living spider.
Guiness World Records

The Town Gossip
Betty, the town gossip and self-appointed supervisor of the town's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business.

Several local residents were unappreciative of her activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence. However, she made a mistake when she recently accused Ted, a local man, of being an alcoholic after she saw his pickup truck parked outside the town's only bar one afternoon.

Ted, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just walked away without saying a word. Later that evening, he parked his pickup truck in front of her house and left it there all night.

Curb your tongue and senses and you are
beyond trouble. Let them loose and you
are beyond help.
- Lao-Tzu
