A yenta never is caught up
on provocative gossip.
Every day she will call up
to say she’s got a tip!
But beware her ears and lips –
she’ll listen then she’ll speak –
she doesn’t scupper a few ships,
but the entire fleet!
She has an incompetence
to keep any confidence;
traducement is her amusement –
she’ll even lie at her entombment!
No matter how oft she swears,
she’ll always share your affairs;
do not be caught unawares,
for her sentences are snares!
