among our vast number
there is a grass
who transmits newsy tidbits
along the vine's brass

he or she does
a very effective job
by relaying our messages
from his or hers
informative gob

shortly we'll have to use
a cypher that is a scramble
so he or she won't be
privy to what we'll preamble

you just never know
who is dobbing you in
and the sort of tack
they're apt to spin

caution and care
must be the priority of mind
as somebody is leaking
our confidential rind
Sneak, tell-tale,
Big mouth, blabber-mouth;
Rumour monger, scandalmonger,
Scaremonger.
Sneak, snitch,
Supergrass stool pigeon;
always dobbing someone in.
Busy as a nailer,
Narrowing your eyes;
Squinting all the while, in sociopathic style,
To avoid accountability, idling along like Burlington Bertie.
With the drama of all your relationships,
He said, She said,
Finger pointing, drama triangles.
Inspired by familial betrayal, and John Cooper Clarke...
