Word Of Mouth - Lyndon Queripel

Old school rule, blotted copybook
Repeat to cheat your mind
Reverse charge callers off the hook
Just leave them all behind

Flashgun cameras and paperweight
A prolific under hand
The time, the place and the date
In triplicate as planned

Word of mouth from ear to ear
Key hole eyes that disappear
Business nose, rumours sell
And never fail a tale to tell

They caught you up halfway there
You'd only just made the lights
Wishful thinking you were clear
Of their telescopic sights

Was it true, was it a lie
Or was it just a just a joke?
Your dream of love left you dry
In the morning when you awoke.

Lyndon Queripel
