When you chatter n’er do natter,

Share idle tattle nor rumour;

Diss with just that smidge of humour.

Entrust Town Criers to scatter. 

Relevant news that doth matter.

Whilst you may wish to dish the dirt,

Vile words mongered can disconcert.

Keep your own counsel, close the zip,

Let not lush gossip pass your lip;

Lest could be you …  that suffers hurt.

(Decima)
