“I better not tell him
what I heard today.”
“It is almost too much,
to bear the toll.”
“The news is just plain
****** up.”
“I’m almost afraid
to whisper it to you.”
“What if he can over hear…
he’d be mad at me too.”

“OK no need to ****,
I’ll tell you, lean in close.”
“I heard his girl-
does not love him…”
“She’s still in love
with a ghost.”
